The verse I found shocking was Matthew 10:34 (and repeated in Luke 12:51):
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
I wasn't shocked that Jesus said it, because I understand what he means, but I wondered, "Where is everybody getting all this 'Prince of Peace' stuff? Are any of them even reading the Bible?" Guess not, huh?
