And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?
All Commentaries on Matthew 19:5 Go To Matthew 19
Jerome
AD 420
“What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder.” God “has joined” in making one flesh of man and woman; this no man can put asunder, unless perhaps God alone. Man “puts asunder” when we dismiss our first wife in desire of a second; God, who also had joined together, puts asunder, when by consent for God’s service, we so have our wives as though not having them. .
