Bible verse
Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:34 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 10.
30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32 Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.
33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
34 Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37 Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;
38 and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
