Mateo 19:6

6 Así que ya no son dos, sino uno solo. Por tanto, lo que Dios ha unido, que no lo separe el hombre.

Mateo 19:6 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 19:6

Wherefore they are no more twain
They were two before marriage, but now no more so; not but that they remain two distinct persons,

but one flesh;
or, as the Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read, "one body": hence the wife is to beloved by the husband as his own body, as himself, as his own flesh, ( Ephesians 5:28 Ephesians 5:29 ) .

what therefore God hath joined together;
or, by the first institution of marriage, has declared to be so closely united together, as to be, as it were, one flesh, and one body, as husband and wife are;

let no man put asunder;
break the bond of union, dissolve the relation, and separate them from each other, for every trivial thing, upon any slight occasion, or for anything; but what is hereafter mentioned. The sense is, that the bond of marriage being made by God himself, is so sacred and inviolable, as that it ought not to be dissolved by any man; not by the husband himself, or any other for him; nor by any state or government, by any prince or potentate, by any legislator whatever; no, not by Moses himself, who is, at least, included, if not chiefly designed here, though not named, to avoid offence: and God and man being opposed in this passage, shows, that marriage is an institution and appointment of God, and therefore not to be changed and altered by man at his pleasure; this not merely a civil, but a sacred affair, in which God is concerned.

Mateo 19:6 In-Context

4 —¿No han leído —replicó Jesús— que en el principio el Creador “los hizo hombre y mujer”,

5 y dijo: “Por eso dejará el hombre a su padre y a su madre, y se unirá a su esposa, y los dos llegarán a ser un solo cuerpo”?

6 Así que ya no son dos, sino uno solo. Por tanto, lo que Dios ha unido, que no lo separe el hombre.

7 Le replicaron:—¿Por qué, entonces, mandó Moisés que un hombre le diera a su esposa un certificado de divorcio y la despidiera?

8 —Moisés les permitió a ustedes divorciarse de sus esposas por lo obstinados que son —respondió Jesús—. Pero no fue así desde el principio.
