Mark 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:7

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother
The Persic version adds, "and brethren and sisters", though without any foundation in the original text, in ( Genesis 2:24 ) , from whence this passage is cited; or in any copy of the evangelist:

and cleave to his wife; (See Gill on Matthew 19:5).

Mark 10:7 In-Context

5 But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law.

6 But from the first, male and female made he them.

7 For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife;

8 And the two will become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9 Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.
