"I did not come to bring peace, but the sword"
A Reading From The Holy Gospel According To Matthew (10, 34 - 11, 1)
At that time, Jesus said to his Apostles: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth: I did not come to bring peace, but the sword. Yes, I have come to separate the man from his father, the daughter from his mother, the daughter-in-law from his mother-in-law: we will have as enemies the people of our own household. Whoever loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; he who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; he who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever has found his life will lose it; who lost his life because of me will find it. Whoever welcomes you welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the One who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in his capacity as a prophet will receive a prophet's reward; who receives a righteous man as a righteous one will receive a righteous reward. And whoever will give to drink, even a simple glass of cold water, to one of these little ones in his capacity as a disciple, amen, I say to you: no, he will not lose his reward. "
When Jesus had finished his instructions to his twelve disciples, he left there to teach and proclaim the Word in the cities of the country.
