# Do you think that I came to bring peace on the earth?
People expected the Messiah to bring them peace from their enemies. Jesus is not going to do that now. AT: "You should not think that I have come to bring peace on earth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# but rather division
"but I came to bring division" or "people will divide from each other because I have come"
# division
"hostility" or "discord"
# there will be five in one house divided
This is an example of the kind of division there will be even within families.
# there will be five in one house
It may be helpful to state that this refers to people. AT: "there will be five people in one house" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
# against
"will oppose." It may be helpful to use a longer phrase for each of these occurrences. AT: "will be divided against" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
