Matthew

Matthew 10:34–36

³⁴Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. ³⁵For I have come to turn

‘a man against his father,

a daughter against her mother,

a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

³⁶A man’s enemies will be the members

of his own household.’ⁱ
