Treasury of Scripture Knowledge: Matthew 19

Chapter 19

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

that when

Mark 10:1 John 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 (pe—ran)] especially with a genitive, sometimes signifies.

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

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

that

Genesis 1:27 5:2 Malachi 2:15

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

Genesis 2:21-24 Psalms 45:10 Mark 10:5-9 Ephesians 5:31

cleave

[proskollao (proskliðnomai)] "shall be cemented to his wife," as the Hebrew davak implies; a beautiful metaphor, forcibly intimating that nothing but death can separate them.

hath

[zeugos (zeu=gov)] "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.

and to

1:19 Malachi 2:16

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.

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.
