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 Jesus said to them, "He wrote this command for you because you're heartless.

6 But God made them male and female in the beginning, at creation.

7 That's why a man will leave his father and mother and will remain united with his wife,

8 and the two will be one. So they are no longer two but one.

9 Therefore, don't let anyone separate what God has joined together."
