Luke 12:52

Not Peace but Division

51Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.52From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law. ”
