THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW - Chapter 19 - Verse 10

Verse 10. His disciples say, etc. The disciples were full of Jewish notions. They thought that the privilege of divorcing a wife when there was a quarrelsome disposition, or anything else that rendered the marriage unhappy, was a great privilege; and that in such cases to be always bound to live with a wife was a great calamity. They said, therefore, that if such was the case in such the condition on which men married—it was better not to marry.

{g} "to marry" Pro 19:13; 31:9,19
