Mark 10:8

8 et erunt duo in carne una itaque iam non sunt duo sed una caro

Mark 10:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:8

And the twain shall be one flesh
This is the remaining part of the citation out of ( Genesis 2:24 ) ; (See Gill on Matthew 19:5);

so then they are no more twain; but one flesh;
as Adam and Eve were both by creation and marriage: and so two persons, a man and woman, being lawfully married together, become one flesh, or "one body", as the Arabic and Persic versions render the phrase; and therefore the wife is to be loved by the husband as his own body, and from whom there should be no separation, until death, but in case of adultery; (See Gill on Matthew 19:6).

Mark 10:8 In-Context

6 ab initio autem creaturae masculum et feminam fecit eos Deus
7 propter hoc relinquet homo patrem suum et matrem et adherebit ad uxorem suam
8 et erunt duo in carne una itaque iam non sunt duo sed una caro
9 quod ergo Deus iunxit homo non separet
10 et in domo iterum discipuli eius de eodem interrogaverunt eum
