LOL! Jesus said he came to send a sword, but not in that context:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 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. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." (Mt 10:34-36 KJV)
The early Christians were considered heretics and blasphemers. It was a tough row to hoe.
