Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
putteth away his wife, &c.--(See on Mat 19:3-9). Far from intending to weaken the force of the law, in these allusions to a new economy, our Lord, in this unexpected way, sends home its high requirements with a pungency which the Pharisees would not fail to feel. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
See the notes at Mat 5:32. These verses occur in Matthew in a different order, and it is not improbable that they were spoken by our Saviour at different times. The design, here, seems to be to reprove the Pharisees for not observing the law of Moses, notwithstanding their great pretensions to external righteousness, and to show them that they had "really" departed from the law. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
But ye do; particularly in this notorious instance. Mat 5:31; Mat 19:7. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Putteth away (or divorceth) his wife - See on Mat 5:31, Mat 5:32 (note); Mat 19:9, Mat 19:10 (note); Mar 10:12 (note); where the question concerning divorce is considered at large. These verses, from the 13th to the 18th inclusive, appear to be part of our Lord's sermon on the mount; and stand in a much better connection there than they do here; unless we suppose our Lord delivered the same discourse at different times and places, which is very probable. |
3 The Pharisees [5330] also [2532] came [4334] unto him [846], tempting [3985] him [846], and [2532] saying [3004] unto him [846], Is it lawful [1487] [1832] for a man [444] to put away [630] his [846] wife [1135] for [2596] every [3956] cause [156]?
4 And [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036] unto them [846], Have ye [314] not [3756] read [314], that [3754] he which [3588] made [4160] them at [575] the beginning [746] made [4160] them [846] male [730] and [2532] female [2338],
5 And [2532] said [2036], For this [5127] cause [1752] shall a man [444] leave [2641] father [3962] and [2532] mother [3384], and [2532] shall cleave [4347] to his [846] wife [1135]: and [2532] they twain [1417] shall be [2071] [1519] one [3391] flesh [4561]?
6 Wherefore [5620] they are [1526] no more [3765] twain [1417], but [235] one [3391] flesh [4561]. What [3739] therefore [3767] God [2316] hath joined together [4801], let [5563] not [3361] man [444] put asunder [5563].
7 They say [3004] unto him [846], Why [5101] did Moses [3475] then [3767] command [1781] to give [1325] a writing [975] of divorcement [647], and [2532] to put [630] her [846] away [630]?
8 He saith [3004] unto them [846], [3754] Moses [3475] because of [4314] the hardness [4641] of your [5216] hearts [4641] suffered [2010] you [5213] to put away [630] your [5216] wives [1135]: but [1161] from [575] the beginning [746] it was [1096] not [3756] so [3779].
9 And [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] Whosoever [3739] [302] shall put away [630] his [846] wife [1135], except [1508] it be for [1909] fornication [4202], and [2532] shall marry [1060] another [243], committeth adultery [3429]: and [2532] whoso marrieth [1060] her which [3588] is put away [630] doth commit adultery [3429].
32 But [1161] I [1473] say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] whosoever [3739] [302] shall put away [630] his [846] wife [1135], saving [3924] for the cause [3056] of fornication [4202], causeth [4160] her [846] to commit adultery [3429]: and [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall marry [1060] her that is divorced [630] committeth adultery [3429].
7 They say [3004] unto him [846], Why [5101] did Moses [3475] then [3767] command [1781] to give [1325] a writing [975] of divorcement [647], and [2532] to put [630] her [846] away [630]?
31 [1161] It hath been said [4483] [3754], Whosoever [3739] [302] shall put away [630] his [846] wife [1135], let him give [1325] her [846] a writing of divorcement [647]:
12 And [2532] if [1437] a woman [1135] shall put away [630] her [846] husband [435], and [2532] be married [1060] to another [243], she committeth adultery [3429].
10 His [846] disciples [3101] say [3004] unto him [846], If [1487] the case [156] of the man [444] be [2076] so [3779] with [3326] his wife [1135], it is [4851] not [3756] good [4851] to marry [1060].
9 And [1161] I say [3004] unto you [5213], [3754] Whosoever [3739] [302] shall put away [630] his [846] wife [1135], except [1508] it be for [1909] fornication [4202], and [2532] shall marry [1060] another [243], committeth adultery [3429]: and [2532] whoso marrieth [1060] her which [3588] is put away [630] doth commit adultery [3429].
32 But [1161] I [1473] say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] whosoever [3739] [302] shall put away [630] his [846] wife [1135], saving [3924] for the cause [3056] of fornication [4202], causeth [4160] her [846] to commit adultery [3429]: and [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall marry [1060] her that is divorced [630] committeth adultery [3429].
31 [1161] It hath been said [4483] [3754], Whosoever [3739] [302] shall put away [630] his [846] wife [1135], let him give [1325] her [846] a writing of divorcement [647]:
