Mt 19:1-12.
英文原文
Mt 19:1-12.
FINAL DEPARTURE FROM GALILEE--DIVORCE. ( =
Mr 10:1-12; Lu 9:51).
Farewell to Galilee
(Mt 19:1, 2).
1. And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee--This marks a very solemn period in our Lord's public ministry. So slightly is it touched here, and in the corresponding passage of Mark
(Mr 10:1),
that few readers probably note it as the Redeemer's Farewell to Galilee, which however it was. See on the sublime statement of Luke
(Lu 9:51),
which relates to the same transition stage in the progress of our Lord's work.
and came into the coasts--or, boundaries
of Judea beyond Jordan--that is, to the further, or east side of the Jordan, into Perea, the dominions of Herod Antipas. But though one might conclude from our Evangelist that our Lord went straight from the one region to the other, we know from the other Gospels that a considerable time elapsed between the departure from the one and the arrival at the other, during which many of the most important events in our Lord's public life occurred--probably a large part of what is recorded in
Lu 9:51, onward to Lu 18:15,
and part of
Joh 7:2-11:54.

2. 有许多人跟着祂，祂就在那里把他们的病人治好了——马可进一步说
(Mr 10:1)，
“祂在那里照常教训他们。”我们现在所读关于休妻的话，正是那教训的一部分。
英文原文
2. And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there--Mark says further
(Mr 10:1),
that "as He was wont, He taught them there." What we now have on the subject of divorce is some of that teaching.

休妻
(Mt 19:3-12)。
3. 人无论什么缘故，都可以休妻吗？——关于这问题，有两个对立的学派分庭抗礼（见我们对
Mt 5:31
的论述）——正如 DE WETTE 切题所言，这在希律·安提帕的辖境内是个敏感问题。
英文原文
Divorce
(Mt 19:3-12).
3. Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?--Two rival schools (as we saw on
Mt 5:31)
were divided on this question--a delicate one, as DE WETTE pertinently remarks, in the dominions of Herod Antipas.

4. 耶稣回答说：那起初造人的，是造男造女，你们没有念过吗——或更贴切地译作：“那造他们的，从起初造他们就是造男造女。”
英文原文
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--or better, perhaps, "He that made them made them from the beginning a male and a female."

5. 并且说：因此——为要贯彻这一神圣的安排。
人要离开父母，与妻子连合，二人成为一体吗？——耶稣在此把他们带回到人最初被造时只有一对、一男一女的情形；带回到神所设立的这种婚姻；也带回到圣史所表达的神的目的：在一切时日中，一男一女要借婚姻成为一体——只要二人尚在肉身，便当如此继续。这既是神所设立的，人就不可借无理的休妻将它拆毁。
英文原文
5. And said, For this cause--to follow out this divine appointment.
shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?--Jesus here sends them back to the original constitution of man as one pair, a male and a female; to their marriage, as such, by divine appointment; and to the purpose of God, expressed by the sacred historian, that in all time one man and one woman should by marriage become one flesh--so to continue as long as both are in the flesh. This being God's constitution, let not man break it up by causeless divorces.

7. 法利赛人说：这样，摩西为什么吩咐给妻子休书，就可以休她呢？
英文原文
7. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8. 耶稣说：摩西——作为民事的立法者。
因为——或作“顾及”。
你们的心硬——顾念你们低落的道德光景，以及你们不能忍受原始律法之严格的程度。
所以许你们休妻——容忍婚姻纽带之严格有所松懈——并非赞许，而是为防止更大的恶。
但起初并不是这样——这话之所以重复，是为要使听众印象深刻地认识：这摩西式的放宽乃是暂时的、纯属民事性质的。
英文原文
8. He saith unto them, Moses--as a civil lawgiver.
because of--or "having respect to."
the hardness of your hearts--looking to your low moral state, and your inability to endure the strictness of the original law.
suffered you to put away your wives--tolerated a relaxation of the strictness of the marriage bond--not as approving of it, but to prevent still greater evils.
But from the beginning it was not so--This is repeated, in order to impress upon His audience the temporary and purely civil character of this Mosaic relaxation.

9. 我告诉你们：凡休妻，等等——见
Mt 5:32。

9. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except, &c.--See on

10. 门徒对耶稣说：人和妻子既是这样，倒不如不娶——即：“既如此看婚姻，它必成为网罗而非祝福，倒不如完全避免为佳。”
英文原文
10. His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry--that is, "In this view of marriage, surely it must prove a snare rather than a blessing, and had better be avoided altogether."

11. 耶稣说：这话不是人都能领受的，唯独赐给谁，谁才能领受——即：“独身更好，这话不是为每一个人，事实上只为那些神所定意赐给的人。”但这些人是谁呢？他们自然会问；这一点我们的主接着分三点告诉他们。
英文原文
11. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given--that is, "That the unmarried state is better, is a saying not for everyone, and indeed only for such as it is divinely intended for." But who are these? they would naturally ask; and this our Lord proceeds to tell them in three particulars.

12. 因为有生来是阉人——即按体质或不能结婚、或不愿结婚的人。
也有被人阉的——即被他人弄得不能结婚的人。
并有为天国的缘故自阉的——即为了更好地作神的工，而刻意选择这一状态的人。保罗便是如此
(1Co 7:7)。
这话谁能领受，就可以领受——“凡感觉这是他正当呼召的，就可以接受”；这当然等于说——“唯独这样的人”。如此，在这事上人人都得自由。
英文原文
12. For there are some eunuchs which were so born from their mother's womb--persons constitutionally either incapable of or indisposed to marriage.
and there are some eunuchs which were made eunuchs of men--persons rendered incapable by others.
and there be eunuchs which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake--persons who, to do God's work better, deliberately choose this state. Such was Paul
(1Co 7:7).
He that is able to receive it, let him receive it--"He who feels this to be his proper vocation, let him embrace it"; which, of course, is as much as to say--"he only." Thus, all are left free in this matter.

最后离开加利利——论休妻。 （ =
Mr 10:1-12；Lu 9:51）。
告别加利利
(Mt 19:1, 2)。
1. 耶稣说完了这些话，就离开加利利——这标志着主公开事工中一个极庄严的时刻。此处以及马可的平行经文
(Mr 10:1)
都一笔带过，因此恐怕少有读者注意到这乃是救赎主对加利利的告别，然而事实正是如此。请参见路加那段崇高的记载
(Lu 9:51)，
论及主工作进展中的同一过渡阶段。
来到——或作“边界”
犹太的边界，约旦河外——即约旦河以东、更远的比利亚境内，是希律·安提帕的辖地。虽然从我们的福音书作者笔下，似乎主从一地径直到了另一地；但从其他福音书我们得知，在离开一地与抵达另一地之间相隔相当一段时间，其间发生了主公开事工中许多最重要的事件——大概包括
Lu 9:51
以下至 Lu 18:15
所记的大部分，以及
Joh 7:2-11:54
的一部分。
