So there was a division in the crowd because of Jesus.
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,
Do you think I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division!
Another sharp division took place among the Jewish people because of these words.
There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is a good man,” but others, “He deceives the common people.”
Then some of the Pharisees began to say, “This man is not from God, because he does not observe the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such miraculous signs?” Thus there was a division among them.
But the population of the city was divided; some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
