33. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in the heavens.
34. Think not that I have come to introduce peace into the land; I came not to introduce peace, but a sword.
35. For I have come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36. And a man’s foes shall be those of his own household.
37. He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38. And he that does not take his cross {Gr. Stauros – stake} and follow after me is not worthy of me.
