33. But whoever denies and disowns Me before men, I also will deny and disown him before My Father Who is in heaven.
34. Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35. For I have come to part asunder a man from his father, and a daughter from her mother, and a newly married wife from her mother-in-law–
36. And a man's foes will be they of his own household. [Mic. 7:6.]
37. He who loves [and takes more pleasure in] father or mother more than [in] Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves [and takes more pleasure in] son or daughter more than [in] Me is not worthy of Me;
38. And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conforming wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also] is not worthy of Me.
