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, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this commandment.

6 But at the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall join to his wife;

8 and they that were two shall be made one flesh, so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.
