Not Peace, but a Sword

34 a“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. bI have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 cFor I have come dto set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 eAnd a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.

Luke 12:51

51 fDo you think that I have come to give peace on earth? gNo, I tell you, but rather division.

John 7:40-53

Division Among the People

40When they heard these words, hsome of the people said, “This really is ithe Prophet.” 41Others said, “This is jthe Christ.” But some said, k“Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes lfrom the offspring of David, and comes mfrom Bethlehem, the village nwhere David was?” 43So there was oa division among the people over him. 44 pSome of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.

45 qThe officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” 46The officers answered, r“No one ever spoke like this man!” 47The Pharisees answered them, s“Have you also been deceived? 48 tHave any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? 49But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” 50 uNicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, 51 v“Does our law judge a man without first wgiving him a hearing and learning what he does?” 52They replied, x“Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that yno prophet arises from Galilee.”
