What did Jesus mean by coming to bring a sword in Matthew 10:34-36 Answer: describes Jesus telling the disciples that He came not to bring peace to the world, but a sword. Jesus’ sword was never a literal one. In fact, when Peter took up a sword to defend Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus rebuked him and told him to put away his sword, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword” (Matthew 26: 52). Why then, did Jesus say, “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” What kind of sword did Jesus come to bring? Among the names of Jesus Christ is that of Prince of Peace. Such verses as Isaiah 9:6 Luke 2: 14 and John 14: 27 make it clear that Jesus came to bring peace, but that peace is between the man and God. Those who reject God and the only way of salvation through Jesus (John 14: 6) will find themselves perpetually at war with God. History of humanity has no acceptance for the fictianal spirit alleged word Italy and /Eurape call Jesus and God by spurious revelation.
