Matthew 19:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 19:3

Marriage and Divorce

1 Now it came to pass, ^awhen Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

2 ^aAnd great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who¹ made them at the beginning ^a‘made them male and female,’

5 and said, ^a‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and ^bthe two shall become one flesh’?

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

Matthew 19:3-4

There is a principle given in Matthew 19, and we will be able to see that this principle is applied in other circumstances as well. The circumstance here is in regard to divorce and remarriage.

Jesus' immediate response was, "Let us go back to the way it was in the beginning and look at this situation from the way God originally said it."
