Matthew 10:32-36; 11:1 (Gospel, Martyrs)

32
Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
33
But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.
34
Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
35
For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;
36
and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’
