Matthew 5:32. Causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced -
That is to say, who is divorced without sufficient cause, -
Matthew 5:32. Committeth adultery.
Among the Jews, divorce was the easiest thing in the world. A man might, in a fit, utter words which would divorce his wife. The Saviour abolished that evil once for all, and made divorce a crime, as it always is "saving for the cause of fornication."
