Matthew 10:34 in Context — Matthew 10

32 Portanto, todo aquele que me der reconhecimento diante das pessoas, também eu o reconhecerei diante de meu Pai, que está nos céus.

33 Porém qualquer um que me negar diante das pessoas, também eu o negarei diante de meu Pai, que está nos céus.

34 Não penseis que vim trazer paz à terra. Não vim trazer paz, mas sim espada.

35 Porque eu vim pôr em discórdia ‘o homem contra seu pai, a filha contra sua mãe, e a nora contra sua sogra.

36 E os inimigos do homem serão os de sua própria casa’.
