Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 19:3

Matthew 19:3. The Pharisees also came, &c.—for every cause— Upon every pretence. Campbell. At discretion. Version of 1729. Our Lord had delivered his sentiments on the subject twice; once in Galilee, ch. Mat 5:32 and again in Perea, Luke 16:18. It is probable, therefore, that they knew his opinion, andsolicited him to declare it, hoping that it would incense the people, who reckoned the liberty which the law gave them of divorcing their wives, one of their chief privileges. Or, if, standing... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 19:4-7

Matthew 19:4-7. And he answered, &c.— The accounts which St. Matthew and St. Mark have given of this matter, though they seem to clash upon the first view, are in reality perfectly consistent. The two historians, indeed, take notice of different particulars; but these, when joined together, mutually throw a light on each other. According to both the evangelists, the Pharisees came with an insidious intention, and asked our Lord's opinion concerning divorce. But the answer returned to their... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 19:8

Matthew 19:8. Because of the hardness of your hearts— He meant their passionate, stubborn, perverse temper, which was such, that had they not been permitted to divorce their wives, some would not have scrupled to murder them; others would have got rid of them by suborning witnesses to prove the crime of adultery against them. Others would have reckoned it great mildness, if they had contented themselves with separating from their wives, and living unmarried. Moses therefore acted as a prudent... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 19:9

Matthew 19:9. Whoever shall put away his wife, &c.— From our Lord's answer it appears, that the school of Sammai taught the best morality on the subject of divorce, but that the opinion of the school of Hillel was more agreeable to the law of Moses on that point. See on ch. Matthew 5:31. The present verse seems to be parallel to Mar 10:11 having been spoken to the disciples in the house, as is probable from the unusual change of persons observable in this part of the discourse. The practice... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 19:10

Matthew 19:10. If the case of the man be so, &c.— The disciples observed to their Lord, that since the law of marriage is so rigid, that, unless the woman breaks the bond by going astray, her husband cannot dismiss her, but must bear with her, whatever are her other vices, deformities, or defects,—a man had better not marry at all. To this our Lord replies, that certainly it is not in every one's power to live continently; yet if any man has the gift, whether by natural constitution, or by... read more

3. Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?—Two rival schools (as we saw on Matthew 5:31) were divided on this question—a delicate one, as DE WETTE pertinently remarks, in the dominions of Herod Antipas. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 19:5

5. And said, For this cause—to follow out this divine appointment. shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?—Jesus here sends them back to the original constitution of man as one pair, a male and a female; to their marriage, as such, by divine appointment; and to the purpose of God, expressed by the sacred historian, that in all time one man and one woman should by marriage become one flesh—so to continue as long as both are in the... read more
