Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 19:1

MATT. 19QUESTIONS ABOUT DIVORCE; JESUS RECEIVING LITTLE CHILDREN; THE RICH YOUNG RULER; JESUS' TEACHING CONCERNING RICHESAnd it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea beyond the Jordan; and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. (Matthew 19:1-2)This verse marks the end of the Galilean ministry and the beginning of the Perean ministry, according to Robertson, who placed the time interval between these two... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 19:3

And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?The Pharisees were not asking for information but in the hope of opening up a conflict between the teachings of Moses and those of Christ. This is actually an unconscious admission on their part of the weakness in Moses' permission of divorce because, if Christ had agreed with Moses, they would have had no case. The proof of weakness in Moses' position is that they... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 19:4

And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female.As always, Christ referred the issue to higher ground, not to what Moses said, but to what God had said. Bypassing Moses altogether, he rested his case upon the word of God, appealing to Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 5:2. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 19:5

And said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh? So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.Jesus' answer was plain, even blunt. God does not allow divorce. There's really no problem at all about knowing God's will. To be sure, problems and difficulties occur, but from what sinful men do, not from any ambiguity regarding what God commanded!... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 19:7

They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away?Convicted as they were by Jesus' words, nevertheless they strove to place Christ in conflict with Moses. They should have known from the Sermon on the Mount that Christ claimed greater authority than Moses, but what they were seeking in this instance was a cause celebre to aid their campaign against Jesus' popularity with the people. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 19:8

He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so.There was, in the case before them, no conflict with Moses. Christ set the record straight, correcting their false statement that Moses had "commanded" divorce. On the contrary, he only permitted it, or "suffered it," as an unwelcome choice between two evils. This is still the only possible justification of divorce, there being cases in which it must appear as the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 19:9

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery.Christ's exception does no violence to God's word. Divorce is still an evil; but, in the case of adultery of one of the partners, it is a lesser evil than living with an unfaithful spouse. Permitted in such a case? Yes, but the dissolution of marriage is contrary to God's law. Paul's exception in 1... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 19:10

The disciples say unto him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.The Pharisees were not the only ones shaken up by the Lord's teaching. The disciples too were surprised and even intimidated at the sanctity and inviolate nature of the marriage tie as expounded by Christ. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 19:11

But he said unto them, Not all men can receive this saying, but they to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.Eunuchs in ancient times were considered unworthy of being received in the work of God, but Christ opened the kingdom to eunuchs also, and allowed in... read more
