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 And Jesus answered and said unto them, "Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

6 But from the beginning of the creation, 'God made them male and female.

7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife,

8 and the two shall be one flesh.' So then they are no more two, but one flesh.

9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
