Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 19:1-30

Matthew 19:3 . The pharisees also came tempting him. These men professed perfection of morality, and of worship; and their object was to tempt our Lord to sin, by giving his sanction to a law of custom, revolting to all the feelings of humanity, and admitting that a man might divorce his wife for any corporeal infirmity, or defect in temper or conduct.

And he answered and said unto them ] Our Saviour would not divide the inheritance, when required to it, Luke 12:13 , but he would decide controversies touching divorces; for in marriage matters many cases of conscience fall out fit to be determined by the minister, whose lips should both preserve and present knowledge to the people, whose house for this cause... read more
