Matthew 19:10 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

His disciples say ... - 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 - such the condition on which people married - it was better not to marry.

Matthew 19:10

10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
