Mateus 10:35

35 Porque eu vim pôr em dissensão o homem contra seu pai, a filha contra sua mãe, e a nora contra sua sogra;

Mateus 10:35 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 10:35

For I am come to set a man at variance against
Or "to divide a man from his father". Here our Lord opens and explains what he means by the sword, intestine divisions, domestic broils, family differences, as well as such as appear in towns, cities, and kingdoms, which are exemplified by other instances following;

and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against
her mother-in-law:
the case is this, a father believing in Christ, embracing his Gospel, and submitting to his institutions, is contradicted, opposed, and persecuted by his own son, and a mother by her own daughter; in both which relations, natural affection knit them together; and the mother-in-law by her daughter-in-law, who before lived together in the most peaceable, kind, and tender manner: which must be imputed, not to Christ, and the doctrines of Christ, and the natural tendency of them, embraced by the father, the mother, and mother-in-law; but to the natural enmity of the son, the daughter, and the daughter-in-law, to everything divine, spiritual, and evangelical, or "vice versa".

Mateus 10:35 In-Context

33 Mas qualquer que me negar diante dos homens, também eu o negarei diante de meu Pai, que está nos céus.
34 Não penseis que vim trazer paz � terra; não vim trazer paz, mas espada.
35 Porque eu vim pôr em dissensão o homem contra seu pai, a filha contra sua mãe, e a nora contra sua sogra;
36 e assim os inimigos do homem serão os da sua própria casa.
37 Quem ama o pai ou a mãe mais do que a mim não é digno de mim; e quem ama o filho ou a filha mais do que a mim não é digno de mim.
