Read the context of that passage. Jesus is talking about the divsions that would come between families over their belief in Him. In that way He has come and caused division.

Here are some peaceful verses:


  1. (Mark 9:50) - "Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
  2. (John 14:27) - "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
  3. (John 16:33) - "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace..."
  4. (Acts 10:36) - "The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all)."
