‏ 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).
