21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

  1. Mateo 10:21 O los matarán.

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword [of division between belief and unbelief].(A) 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man’s enemies will be the members of his [own] household [when one believes and another does not].(B)

37 [a]He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.(C) 38 And he who does not take his [b]cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me] is not worthy of Me. 39 Whoever finds his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], and whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake will find it [that is, life with Me for all eternity].(D)

  1. Matthew 10:37 Commitment to Jesus takes precedence over all else.
  2. Matthew 10:38 The historical background behind this statement is that those who were about to be crucified had to carry the crossbeam to which they would be nailed or bound. In addition to the terrible agony that crucifixion inflicted, it was such a great indignity that some of the Roman writers used the word cross as a curse word in the expression “Go to a bad cross!” (Lat i in malam crucem).

El costo del discipulado

34 »(A)No piensen que vine a traer[a] paz a la tierra; no vine a traer[b] paz, sino espada. 35 Porque vine a poner al hombre contra su padre, a la hija contra su madre, y a la nuera contra su suegra(B); 36 y los enemigos del hombre serán los de su misma casa(C).

37 »El que ama al padre o a la madre más que a Mí, no es digno de Mí; y el que ama al hijo o a la hija más que a Mí, no es digno de Mí(D). 38 Y el que no toma su cruz y sigue en pos de Mí, no es digno de Mí(E). 39 El que ha hallado su vida, la perderá; y el que ha perdido su vida por Mi causa, la hallará(F).
