Matthew 10:35 Context
33But whosoeuer shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heauen. 34Thinke not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, & the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36And a mans foes shalbe they of his owne houshold. 37He that loueth father or mother more then me, is not worthy of me: and he that loueth sonne or daughter more then me, is not worthy of me.

Bible commentary
People's Bible Notes for Matthew 10:35
Mt 10:35 I am come to set a man at variance against his father. This was not the Savior's object, but the effect. The conversion of individual members of the family would cause variance. In nearly all quarrels, except those about religion, the members of the same family stand together, but in religious feuds the family circle is often broken and its parts arrayed against each other.
