Matteus 10,35

Parents and childrenConflict and reconciliation

33 Men den som fornekter meg for andre, vil jeg fornekte for min Far i himmelen.

34 “Tro ikke at jeg er kommet for å bringe fred til jorden; jeg er ikke kommet for å bringe fred, men et sverd.

For jeg er kommet for å
sette en sønn mot sin far,
en datter mot sin mor,
og en svigerdatter mot sin svigermor;

36 og en persons fiender vil være hans egne husfolk.

37 “Hvis noen elsker sin far eller mor mer enn meg, er de ikke verdige meg; hvis noen elsker sin sønn eller datter mer enn meg, er de ikke verdige meg.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
