Matthew 10:35 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The words are partly, as the marginal reference shows, an echo of Micah 7:6, but the selection of the special relationships as typical instances suggests the thought of some personal application. Had Zebedee looked with displeasure on the calling of his two sons? or was there variance between the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law in the household of Peter? Were the brethren of the Lord, who as yet believed not, as the foes of a man’s own household?

Matthew 10:35

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.
