32 “Therefore, everyone who will acknowledge Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven.
33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
34 Don’t assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I came to turna man against his father,a daughter against her mother,a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 and a man’s enemies will bethe members of his household.
37 The person who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; the person who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
38 And whoever doesn’t take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
