If you look at Mat 10:34 in context, Jesus is talking about bringing division to the earth. He said this because the Jews thought Messiah was going to show up and be some military leader that would overthrow the Romans.
While Jesus didn't directly speak about peace except in these instances, if you look elsewhere you find appropriate references, like 2 Thes 3:16 and Col 3:15, and throughout the Bible you also find God referred to as being a God of peace. (2/2)
