Mark 10 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

The Pharisees' question concerning divorce.

Wherever Jesus was, the people flocked after him in crowds, and he taught them. Preaching was Christ's constant practice. He here shows that the reason why Moses' law allowed divorce, was such that they ought not to use the permission; it was only for the hardness of their hearts. God himself joined man and wife together; he has fitted them to be comforts and helps for each other. The bond which God has tied, is not to be lightly untied. Let those who are for putting away their wives

consider what would become of themselves, if God should deal with them in like manner. (Mk 10:13-16)
