The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 19:1-12

The ethics of marriage. Note here a contrast: multitudes following Christ for healing, Pharisees pursuing him for mischief. Satan will be among the sons of God. Jesus turns the contradiction of sinners into instructions for his disciples. Let us consider— I. THE PHARISEE 'S QUESTION RELATING TO CAPRICIOUS DIVORCE . 1 . The occasion . 2 . The reply . II. THEIR CITATION OF THE MOSAIC CONCESSION OF DIVORCEMENT . 1 . The con cession ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 19:3

We have now to listen to our Lord's teaching respecting divorce and marriage. The Pharisees. The article is better omitted. Our Lord was not long left in peace by these inveterate enemies, who, if they could not openly persecute him, might hope to extract something from his words and sentiments which might be used to his disadvantage. They were probably envoys sent from Jerusalem to entrap and annoy him. Tempting him. Trying to get him to give an answer which would in any case afford a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 19:3-9

Divorce. The readiness with which the marriage tie is dissolved in some countries, and the daring questions on the subject that have been raised in England, make it important for us to see clearly how divorce should be regarded in the light of the teachings of Christ. Plainly he sets his face against any divorce except in the most extreme case. Let us consider some of the pleas for a laxer rule, and then look at the duty of resisting them. I. PLEAS FOR A GREATER FREEDOM OF ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 19:3

The Pharisees came - See the notes at Matthew 3:7.Tempting him - This means, to get him, if possible, to express an opinion that should involve him in difficulty.Is it lawful ... - There was the more art in the captious question which they proposed, as at that time the people were very much divided on the subject. A part, following the opinions of Hillel, said that a man might divorce his wife for any offence, or any dislike he might have of her. See the notes at Matthew 5:31. Others, of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 19:3

Matthew 19:3. The Pharisees also Who always had a watchful eye on his motions, and attended him with the most malignant designs, being now more especially irritated by the fame of his late miracles, which they had in vain endeavoured to suppress; came unto him, tempting him With what they thought a very artful and insnaring question; and That they might, if possible, find some reason to accuse him, or to discredit him, at least, among the people; they asked him, Is it lawful for a... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 19:1-12

108. Questions about divorce (Matthew 19:1-12; Mark 10:1-12; Luke 16:18)Again the Pharisees tried to trap Jesus into saying something that would give them grounds to accuse him of error. This time they chose the subject of divorce, where different viewpoints among Jewish teachers often caused arguments. Jesus referred them back to God’s original standard, which was that a man and a woman live together, independent of parents, in a permanent union (Matthew 19:1-6). Moses set out laws to limit... 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

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

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 19:3

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
