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 Yeshua said to them, "He wrote this commandment for you because of your hardheartedness.

6 However, at the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.

7 For this reason, a man should leave his father and mother and be united with his wife,

8 and the two are to become one flesh. Thus they are no longer two, but one.

9 So then, no one should break apart what God has joined together."
