Matthew 19:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 19:8

6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

7 They said to Him, ^a“Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”

8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the ^ahardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your ^bwives, but from the beginning it was not so.

9 ^aAnd I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for¹ sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”

10 His disciples said to Him, ^a“If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
