Matthew 10:34-39 - Not Peace, But A Sword Of Divisiveness

³⁴ "Do not suppose that I am come to bring peace on the earth; I am come not to bring peace, but a sword. ³⁵ "For I came to set "a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; ³⁶ "and a man's own household will be his enemies.

³⁷ "He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; ³⁸ "and he who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. ³⁹ "He who has saved his life shall lose it; and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.

⁴⁹ "I came to build a fire upon the earth; what is my desire? ⁵⁰ "Would it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it is accomplished! ⁵¹ "Do you think that I am come to make peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather dissension. ⁵² "From this time there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three;

⁵³ "father against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
