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

³⁴ Think not, that I am come to send peace into the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law: ³⁶ And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

³⁷ He that loveth his father or mother more than me, is not meet for me: and he that loveth his son or daughter more than me, is not meet for me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross and followeth me, is not meet for me. ³⁹ He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.

⁴⁹ I am come to send fire on earth: and what is my desire but that it were already kindled? ⁵⁰ Notwithstanding, I must be baptised with a baptism. And how am I pained till it be ended? ⁵¹ "Suppose ye that I am come to send peace on earth? I tell you, nay: but rather debate. ⁵² For henceforth there shall be five in one house divided: three against two, and two against three.

⁵³ The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father. The mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother. The mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
