Matthew 19:1-11
when <3753> [that when.]
he left <3332> [he departed.]
This was our Lord's final departure from Galilee, previous to his crucifixion; but he appears to have taken in a large compass in his journey, and passed through the districts east of Jordan. Some learned men, however, are of opinion, that instead of "beyond Jordan," we should render, "by the side of Jordan," as [peran <\\See definition 4008\\>,] especially with a genitive, sometimes signifies.
test <3985> [tempting.]
Is <1487> [Is it.]
Have you ... read <314> [Have.]
that <3754> [that.]
said <2036> [said.]
<4347> [cleave.]
[Proskollao <\\See definition 4347\\>,] "shall be cemented to his wife," as the Hebrew davak implies; a beautiful metaphor, forcibly intimating that nothing but death can separate them.
and ............ and ... and ........ and ... two <2532 1417> [and they.]
God <2316> [God.]
has joined together <4801> [hath.]
[Zeugos <\\See definition 2201\\>,] "hath yoked together," as oxen in the plough, where each must pull equally in order to bring it on. Among the ancients, they put a yoke upon the necks of a new married couple, or chains on their arms, to shew that they were to be one, closely united, and pulling equally together in all the concerns of life.
Why <5101> [Why.]
and to divorce <2532 630> [and to.]
because of <4314> [because.]
permitted <2010> [suffered.]
but <1161> [but.]
<3739> [Whosoever.]
<1508> [except.]
commits adultery <3429> [doth.]
