Sword and Fire in the New Testament

 

 

Mt 10:34

Do not think that 1 have come to make peace on earth? 1 have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother.

 

Lk 12:49

"I came to cast fire upon the earth, and would that it were already kindled. Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you but rather division, for from henceforth in the house there will be five divided, three against two, and two against three. They will be divided, father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother.

 

Lk 22:36

Then he said unto them, But now, he hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

 

Lk 19:27

For these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.

 

Lk 14:26

If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife, and children, and brothers and sisters yes and even his own life: he cannot be my disciple.
