## Matthew 10:36-37 in Context (Verses 33–40 KJV)
 
 [33 ](/kjv/matthew/10/33) But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/matthew/10/34) Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/matthew/10/35) For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/matthew/10/36) And a man’s foes *shall be* they of his own household.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/matthew/10/37) He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/matthew/10/38) And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/matthew/10/39) He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/matthew/10/40) ¶ He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
 
[Matthew 9](/kjv/matthew/9) [Matthew 11](/kjv/matthew/11)
