Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 10
Mt 10, Verses 34–36English original
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am 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. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
He had before said, What I say to you in darkness, that speak ye in the light; He now tells them what will follow upon that preaching, saying, Think not that I am come to send peace upon earth; I am not come to send peace, but a sword.
