Oh , that passage starts around Matthew 10:34.... It is quite a yarn from there , Matthew was rather clueless for a disciple of God . Miracles conveniently inserted here and there and multitudes following JC around almost incessantly , and vague parables of what is heaven, and many many descriptions of Hell and who's going there for eternity .... most of these sayings and parables seem to have been taken out of the collective mindset of the times , and were most probably generations old wives' tales myths , common wisdom and legend, and perrenial wisdom that haunted the jewish mind from other sources that they borrowed and disuised as their own. ( all others were not "god's chosen , remember) It is almost uncanny , when ever Jesus does sound "wise" and compassionate , it is almost word for word , parable for parable ... the words of Buddha . right down to the parable/story of heaven and the mustard seed or the Sermon on the Mt. It's really quite a noble effort for child's fiction . ;-)
