"I
have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already burning!
I have a terrible baptism of suffering ahead of me, and I am under a
heavy burden until it is accomplished. Do you think I have come to bring
peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each
other! From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me,
and two against--or two in favor and three against. 'Father will be
divided against son and son against father; mother against daughter and
daughter against mother; and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and
daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.' "
"and I am under a heavy burden until it is accomplished."
John 4:34 Then Jesus explained: "My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work."
John 17:4 "I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do."
John 19:28-30 Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, "I am thirsty." A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hysop branch, and held it up to his lips. When Jesus had tasted it, he said, "It is finished!" Then he bowed his head and released his spirit.
"Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other!"
Matthew 10:34 "Don't imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace but a sword."
"From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against--or two in favor and three against."
Luke 14:26 "If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison--your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple." (see also Matthew 10:37-39)
" 'Father against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.' "
Micah 7:6 For the son despises his father. The daughter defies her mother. The daughter-in-law defies her mother-in-law. Your enemies are right in your own household!
Matthew 10:21 "A brother will betray his brother to death, a father will betray his own child, and children will rebel against their parents and cause them to be killed."
Matthew 10:35 " 'I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.' " (Micah 7:6)
