You don't understand Matthew (Jesus)... When he says "I bring a sword" he is not suggesting the the sword will be used in a violent manner, such as cutting or stabbing or beheading anyone. The sword that he brings is for the purpose of PARTING or SEPARATING, i.e; making a DIVISION.
If you are at the beach and you drag the tip of a sword through the wet sand for a few meters you will see it leaves a line that separates two regions of sand, whereas before there was only the one region. Geddit ?
As to the significance of all this, I,ll leave you to research it online if you're interested.
