MATT. XVIII. 35.-xIx. 1-5.

shall cry himself, but shall not be heard, Prov. xxi. 13. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: for give, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal, it shall be measured to you again, Luke vi. 37, 38. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment, Jam. ii. 13.

CHAP. XIX.-VER. 1.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἐτέλεσεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοὺς λόγους τούτους, μετῇρεν ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ ὅρια τῆς Ἰουδαίας, πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.

And it came to pass, a that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judæa beyond Jordan ;

a And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judæa, by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again, Mark x. 1. And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode, John x. 40.

VER. 2.

Καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί· καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ.

nication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is divorced committeth adultery, Matt. v. 31, 32. Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. And did not he make one? yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the LORD the God of Israel saith, that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lonp of hosts : therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously, Mal. ii.

VER. 4.

Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε, ὅτι ὁ ποιήσας ἀπ ̓ ἀρχῆς, ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτούς;

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

a So God created man in his own image: in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them, Gen. i. 27. Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created, v. 2.

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

a And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and

shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh, Gen. ii. 21-24. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder, Mark x. 6-9. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh, Eph. v. 31.

woman which hath an husband, is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband, Rom. vii. 2. And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife de part from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord; if any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy, 1 Cor. vii. 10-14. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife, loveth himself, Eph. v. 28. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge, Heb. xiii. 4.

VER. 7.

Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· Τί οὖν Μωσῆς ἐνετείλατο δοῦναι βιβλίον ἀποστασίου, καὶ ἀπολῦσαι αὐτήν; Λέγει αὐτοῖς·

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? For two, saith he, shall be one flesh, 1 Cor. vi. 15, 16. Nevertheless to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his then command to give a writing of diThey say unto him, a Why did Moses own body, but the wife, vii. 2.4.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh, 31.

bThen Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her her away privily, Matt. i. 19. For a public example, was minded to put the LORD the God of Israel saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously, Mal. ii. 16.

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

a Harden not your hearts as in the provocation, and as in the day of

Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should| hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his Spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts, Zech. vii. 12. And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept, Mark x. 5.

b But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment, 1 Cor. vii. 6. eTherefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh, Gen. ii. 24. And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark because of the waters of the flood, vii. 7. Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, we will not walk therein, Jer. vi. 16.

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

a And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an helpmeet for him, Gen. ii. 18. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

at all times; and be thou ravished
always with her love, Prov. v. 15-19.
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good
thing, and obtaineth favour of the
LORD, Xviii. 22. A foolish son is the
calamity of his father: and the con-
tentions of a wife are a continual
dropping. House and riches are the
inheritance of fathers: and a prudent
wife is from the LORD, xix. 13, 14.
It is better to dwell in a corner of the
housetop, than with a brawling woman
in a wide house, xxi. 9. It is better
to dwell in the wilderness, than with
a contentious and angry woman, 19.
Now concerning the things whereof
ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man
not to touch a woman. Nevertheless
to avoid fornication, let every man
have his own wife, and let every wo-
man have her own husband, 1 Cor.
vii. 1, 2. I say therefore to the un-
married and widows, It is good for
them if they abide even as I, 8. I
suppose therefore that this is good
for the present distress, I say, that it
is good for a man so to be. Art thou
bound unto a wife? seek not to be
loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife?
But and if thou
seek not a wife.
marry, thou hast not sinned: and if a
virgin marry, she hath not sinned.
Nevertheless, such shall have trouble

in the flesh, but I spare you, 26–28.
But I would have you without care-
fulness. He that is unmarried careth
for the things that belong to the Lord,
how he may please the Lord: But
he that is married careth for the
things that are of the world, how he
may please his wife. There is differ-
ence also between a wife and a vir-
gin. The unmarried woman careth
for the things of the Lord, that she
may be holy both in body and in spirit:
but she that is married careth for the
things of the world, how she may
please her husband. And this I speak
for your own profit; not that I may
cast a snare upon you, but for that
which is comely, and that ye may at-
tend upon the Lord without distrac-
tion, 32-35. The wife is bound by
the law as long as her husband liveth;
but if her husband be dead, she is at
liberty to be married to whom she will;
only in the Lord. But she is happier
if she so abide after my judgment:
and I think also that I have the

But the younger widows refuse for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tatlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. For some are already turned aside after Satan, v.

VER. 11.

Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Οὐ πάντες χωροῦσι τὸν λόγον τοῦτον, ἀλλ ̓ οἷς δέδοται.

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

a For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God; one after this manner, and another after that. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I, 1 Cor. vii. 7, 8. But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches, 17.

VER. 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.

a And of thy sons which shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon, Isa, xxxix. 7.

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

a And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me, Matt. xviii. 2-5. And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, Gen. xlviii.1. And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them I pray thee, unto me, and rael were dim for age, so that he could I will bless them.

And Joseph brought

and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him. And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the first-born. And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, The angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a mul

titude in the midst of the earth. And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head. And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the first-born; put thy right hand upon his head. And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim, and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh, 9-20. And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young, 1 Sam. i. 24. And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them, Mark x. 13. And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them, Luke xviii. 15. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God

shall call, Acts ii. 39.

b Then Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee, Matt. xvi. 22.

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

a But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein, Mark x. 14, 15. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little

children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God, Luke xviii. 16.

b At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes, Matt. xi. 25. And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter in the kingdom of heaven, xviii. 3. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men, 1 Cor. xiv. 20.
