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.’
— Matthew 10:34-36
