Not Peace, but a Sword

^34 (D)“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. ^(E)I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. ^35 (F)For I have come ^(G)to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. ^36 (H)And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.
