in today’s first reading, Paul is on his knees praying for the believers, that they will know God. That they will be strengthened in their faith with the Holy Spirit. And that they will follow Jesus.

Then Jesus spoke of coming for division, not peace. Brother against brother, mother against son, etc. Beliver against non-believer!
