Matthew 10:34
Summary for Matt 10:34-39: 10:34-39 a Allegiance to Jesus has priority over allegiance to family. 10:34 b Jesus did bring peace (John 14:27 c), but not of a social and political kind. Instead, Jesus calls humans to make a decision about him, which brings a sword—i.e., division (see Matt 8:21-22 d; 12:46-50 e; Luke 12:51 f).
