A man’s foes will be those of his own household.†
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Matthew 10:36 in context
Matthew 10:33–39
33
But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
34
“Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.
35
For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
37
He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.
38
He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.
39
He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
