What is the religious defense of this Jesus Christ quote?

For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household." - Jesus Christ, Matthew 10:34-36

How would theists defend Jesus here? It's my favorite biblical quote when I want to point out that Jesus is a dick.

He's a god, he comes first even over family and/or peace or no golden ticket. All must believe that or there will be consequences..

They'll also tell you that 'sword' is a metaphor and you're reading the bible wrong.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
