Matthew 19:4-6. United 4 Aug 2023

Mat 19:4 He answered,
'Have you not read that the Creator
from the beginning
made them male and female
5 and that he said:
This is why a man leaves his father and mother
and becomes attached to his wife,
and the two become one flesh?
6 They are no longer two,
therefore, but one flesh.
So then, what God has united,
human beings must not divide.'

Jesus says, 'Have you not read ...' Perhaps the Pharisees could not read.

In Genesis 2:24 it seems that the narrator makes the statement. Jesus interprets this as if God the Father had spoken those words. With as a consequence that God would be the author of the scriptures.

Prayer

Jesus, teach me about the scriptures.
