1 Christ heals the sick;
3 answers the Pharisees concerning divorcement;
10 shows when marriage is necessary;
13 receives little children;
16 instructs the young man how to attain eternal life;
20 and how to be perfect;
23 tells his disciples how hard it is for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God;
27 and promises reward to those that forsake any thing to follow him.

that when. Mr 10:1 Joh 10:40

he departed. This was our Lord's final departure from Galilee, previous to his crucifixion; but he appears to have taken in a large compass in his journey, and passed through the districts east of Jordan. Some learned men, however, are of opinion, that instead of 'beyond Jordan,' we should render, 'by the side of Jordan,' as [peran,] especially with a genitive, sometimes signifies.

2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

4:23-25 9:35,36 12:15 14:35,36 15:30,31 Mr 6:55,56

3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

tempting. 16:1 22:16-18,35 Mr 10:2 12:13,15 Lu 11:53,54 Joh 8:6 Heb 3:9

Is it. 5:31,32 Mal 2:14-16

4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

Have. 12:3 21:6,42 22:31 Mr 2:25 12:10,26 Lu 6:3 10:26

that. Ge 1:27 5:2 Mal 2:15

5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

said. Ge 2:21-24 Ps 45:10 Mr 10:5-9 Eph 5:31

cleave. [Proskollao,] 'shall be cemented to his wife,' as the Hebrew davak implies; a beautiful metaphor, forcibly intimating that nothing but death can separate them.

Ge 34:3 De 4:4 10:20 11:22 1Sa 18:1 2Sa 1:26 1Ki 11:2 Ps 63:8 Ro 12:9

and they. 1Co 6:16 7:2,4

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

God. Pr 2:17 Mal 2:14 Mr 10:9 Ro 7:2 1Co 7:10-14 Eph 5:28 Heb 13:4

hath. [Zeugos,] 'hath yoked together,' as oxen in the plough, where each must pull equally in order to bring it on. Among the ancients, they put a yoke upon the necks of a new married couple, or chains on their arms, to shew that they were to be one, closely united, and pulling equally together in all the concerns of life.

7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

Why. 5:31 De 24:1-4 Isa 50:1 Jer 3:8 Mr 10:4

and to. 1:19 Mal 2:16

8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

because. Ps 95:8 Zec 7:12 Mal 2:13,14 Mr 10:5

suffered. 3:15 8:31 1Co 7:6

but. Ge 2:24 7:7 Jer 6:16

9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Whosoever. 5:32 Mr 10:11,12 Lu 16:18 1Co 7:10-13,39

except. 2Ch 21:11 Jer 3:8 Eze 16:8,15,29 1Co 5:1

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

Ge 2:18 Pr 5:15-19 18:22 19:13,14 21:9,19 1Co 7:1,2,8,26-28 1Co 7:32-35,39,40 1Ti 4:3 5:11-15

11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

1Co 7:2,7,9,17,35

12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

which were made. Isa 39:7 56:3,4

13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

brought. 18:2-5 Ge 48:1,9-20 1Sa 1:24 Ps 115:14,15 Jer 32:39 Mr 10:13 Lu 18:15 Ac 2:39 1Co 7:14

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Suffer. Ge 17:7,8,24-26 21:4 Jud 13:7 1Sa 1:11,22,24 2:18 Mr 10:14 Lu 18:16 *etc:

15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

That. 13:22 De 6:10-12 8:10-18 Job 31:24,25 Ps 49:6,7,16-19 Pr 11:28 30:8,9 Mr 10:23 Lu 12:15-21 16:13,14,19-28 18:24 1Co 1:26 1Ti 6:9,10 Jas 1:9-11 2:6 5:1-4

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

It. So in the Koran, 'The impious, who in his arrogance shall accuse our doctrine of falsity, shall find the gates of heaven shut; nor shall he enter till a camel shall pass through the eye of a needle.' It was a common mode of expression among the Jews to declare any thing that was rare or difficult.

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
