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, "Moses wrote that command for you because you were stubborn.

6 But when God made the world, 'he made them male and female.'

7 'So a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife,

8 and the two will become one body.' So there are not two, but one.

9 God has joined the two together, so no one should separate them."
