DidChristAdmitAdultery As

GroundForDivorce?

"Perplexed".Mosman Park,sendsalongletter whichwecanfairlyboil downtothefollowingquestion:DoesnotSt.Matthew (chap.19,v.9)recordOur Lordasallowingdivorce forunfaithfulness?

R.:No.Tounderstand thispassagewemustrefer ittoitscontext.Thequestion,youremember,wasput toOurLordbythePharisees:"Isitrightforaman toputawayhiswife,for whatevercause?"Thisnis adisputedmatteramongthe Pharisees.Oneschoolheld thatamanmightdivorce hiswifeforadulteryonly; anotherandmorelaxschool taughtthatdivorcewasallowablefortrivialreasons, "whatevercause."Inboth casesremarriagewasallowed.

TheycomenowtoOur LordforHisviewonthe disputedgroundsfordivorce;isadulterytheonly sufficientgroundfordivorce orwillalessseriouscause suffice?Totheirchagrin, andtotheastonishmentof theApostlestoo(aswe readinverse10),Christ pronouncesagainstbothof theseviews,eventhestricterone.

True,Moseshadallowed them-not "commanded" themasthePhariseeshad claimed-divorceforadultery.Itwasatemporary concessionbecause"ofthe hardnessoftheirhearts,"ie. theexistingpracticewas toleratedbyGodfora time.

Christnowremindsthem thatitwasnotsofromthe beginning;Heremindsthem ofGenesis,chapter2,where beforetheMosaicconcessionmarriagewasalifelongunionwhich"noman canputasunder."

Christnowrestoresmarriagetoitspristinesanctity:divorce,i.e.dissolution ofthemarriagebondisno longerlawfulevenfor adultery,thoughforthelattercauseaseparationis permitted.

Admittedly,verse9isnot crystalclear.Therearedifferentreadings-twomain ones-intheGreekmanus-

VariantsofText

Itwouldthuscontaintwo statements:(a)Isaytoyou thatthemanwhoputs awayhiswife(apartfrom thecaseofunfaithfulness) makesher(i.e.exposesher) tocommitadultery;(b) whoevermarriesherafter shehasbeenput.away, commitsadultery.

(2)Avariantreadingin somemanuscripts,whileretainingthesecondstatement,substitutesforthefirst anotherwhichlaysmore stressonthehusbandthan thewife.Itwouldrun:the manwhoputsawayhis wife-and,inparenthesis, suchseparationisallowed onlyinadulterouscasesandthenmarriesanother, commitsadultery. Somuchforthevariants inthetextitself.Now,how aretheytobeinterpreted?

Onegroupofscripture scholars,presumingthat theGreek"porneia"in verse9meansadultery,say thatthedisputedclauseis notstrictlyan"exception" orexceptiveclausebut reservesthecaseofadultery.

St.Mark'sAccount

Further,itisopposedto OurLord'sexpresspurpose ofrestoringthetruestandardofmarriageabovethe deflectionfromitwhich thenprevailedamongthe Jews.Besides,itwouldnot accountforthedisciples' expressionofastonishment atOurLord'steachingfor, ifOurLordalloweddivorce foradultery,Hemerelytaughtwhatthestricter schooloftheJewshadalreadytaught,withwhich thediscipleswouldbefamiliar.

TodiscoverChrist'sattitudetodivorce,youshould turnfromthisobscureand uncertaintextofSt.MatthewtoSt.Mark'sGospel wherewehavethedominantanddecisiveaccount ofthissubject.Itisdecisive becauseSt.Mark,having reportedthesubstanceof theconversationwhichSt. Matthewrecords,goeson totellofafurtherconversationonthesamesubject whichChristheldimmediatelyafterwardswith Hisdisciplesalone.

DominantPassage

Thediscipleswereso startled,soperplexed,and theysoappreciatedthegra- vityofwhatOurLordhad repliedtothePharisees, thattheycametoHimby themselvesinthehouseand askedHimfurtheraboutit. OurLordtheninthefullestpossiblemanner,toHis intimates,tothosetowhom HewasentrustingHisGospelandtheteachingofHis Kingdom,gavethecomplete declarationofHismindand willconcerningtheindissolubilityofmarriage.

Heviewsthematterin itsentirety,notonlywith regardtotheglossesorinterpretationwhichtheJews hadputontheMosaiclaw, butasitconcernedHis kingdomforalltime.I quoteSt.Mark.Chapter10: "Andwhentheywereinthe house,hisdisciplesasked himfurtheraboutthesame question.Whereuponhe toldthem;ifamanputs awayhiswifeandmarries another,hebehavesadulterouslytowardsher;and ifawomanputsawayherhusbandandmarries another,sheisanadulteress."

Thesewordsrecordedby St.Markformthedominant passageonthissubjectfor thereasons:(1)Theywere spokenbyOurLordinprivateinstructiontothe Apostles,aswasHiscustom. CompareSt.Mark,chapter 4,wherewearetold"but apart,heexplainedall thingstothedisciples."(2)Theywerespokento thedisciplespreciselyto givethemcleardirection andremovetheperplexity, whichthehardteachingrecordedinSt.Matthewhad giventhem.

ThewordsinSt.Mark, then,areOurLord'sown commentaryandexplanationofthemeaningofHis wordsrecordedintheob-

LanguageUsagesAmongHebrews

ExplainBibleTextsabout"Brothers"

"Puzzledbeliever,"MidlandJunction,writes:"Isit true,asIhaveread,that OurLordhadbrothersand sisters.Ifnot,howdoyouexplainthefrequentusein theNewTestamentofthe term"brethrenofthe Lord?"

R.:Thereisnotascrapof truthintheassertion.We explaintheterm"brethren" intheNewTestamentinthe samewayasitwasobviouslymeantintheOld Testament,namelytosignifycousinsorfellowclansmen.NeitherHebrew norAramaichadaspecial wordtosignifycousin; theyusedeithertheword, "ah"(brother)oracircumlocutionsuchas"sonof uncle"or"sonofthe brotherofthemother." (Thelatinwordforbrother, "frater,"originallyhadthis widemeaningalso).

Toavoidclumsycircumlocutions,particularlywhere thecousinswouldbesons ofdifferentunclesand aunts,andwheretherefore ifyouwishedtobethoroughlyexactyouwould havetowriteasuccession of"sonofthebrotherof themother"and"daughter ofthesisterofthefather" tillyouhadthoroughlyexasperatedyourreader-to avoidthis,theword"brethren"wasusedasaconvenienttermtocovertheoffspringofseveralunclesand aunts.

ClearEvidences

Youwillfinddozensof examplesofthiswider meaningof"brethren"in theOldTestament.Inthe bookofGenesis,forinstance,Abraham'snephew Lotiscalledhis"brother"; Jacobiscalledthe"brother" ofhis EleazaruncleLaban.Again, hasnosons;yethis daughtersmarrytheir "brothers"-andsoon.

ComingtothecaseofOur Lord,wehavestrongScrip- turalevidencethatHewas theonlysonofMary.None certainlyprecededHim,for Marytells Annunciation:theangelatthe "Howcan thisbedone,becauseI knownotman?"Noris thereanyevidencethat anyfollowed.IntheaccountofthefindingofOur Lordinthetemple,forexample,itisclearthatHeis heronlychild.And,later, totheinhabitantsofNazareth-whoshouldknow best-Heisknowninan exclusivewayas"theSon ofMary"(Mark6/3).

Itissignificantthatthis titleisreservedtoHim aloneintheGospels;though othersarereferredtoasHis "brethren,"theyarenever referredtoassonsofMary. Anotherstrongindication isthefactthatwhendying onthecross,ChristOur LordentrustedHisMother totheApostleSt.John.

Itisinconceivablethat Hewouldhavemadethis provisionforHisMotherif His"brethren,"ofwhomat leastfour-James,Joseph, SimonandJude-werealive atthetime,wereHisnaturalbrothersorhalfbrothers?

Twoobjectionshave sometimesbeenbrought againstthisview.Thefirst isSt.Matthew'stext"and he(Joseph)knewhernot

scureverse9ofSt.Matthew's19thchapter,whether thatversebereadasinour translationorinaccordance withthoseGreekmanuscriptswhichgiveitthe samewordsasinthe SermonontheMount,St. Matthew5/32.

If,ascertaincriticscontend,thewordsofSt.Matthewarepatientofdifferentinterpretations,that interpretationwhichisin accordwithSt.MarkspokenbyOurLordwith theexpresspurposeofdeterminingtheirmeaningmustbetherightone.In otherwords,throughoutthe NewTestament,including St.Matthew19/9,OurLord rejecteddivorceonthe groundofanunfaithful partner.

tillshehadbroughtforthherfirst-bornson."Butthe word"till"or"until"does notimplythatheknewher afterwards.

Manyinstancescouldbe quotedfromtheOldTestamentwheretheword "until"doesnotimplythe futureForinstance: "Michol,thedaughterof Saulhadnochilduntilthe dayofherdeath"merely meansthatshehadno childthenorafterwards.

Oragain,togivejustone furtherexampleoutof many,whentheMaccabees offeredsacrifice"because notoneofthemwasslain tilltheyhadreturnedin peace"doesnotimplythat anyofthemwereslainafterwards.

HebrewCustom

But,youmayurge,what abouttheword"first-born?" Doesitnotimplythatother childrenfollowed?Again, no.Thefirstmalechildofa marriagewascalledthe "first-born"immediatelyafteritsbirth,anditretained thenameevenifitremainedtheonlychild.Asa matteroffact,someofthe bestGreekmanuscripts omittheword"first-born". Anyway,itismerelyamatterofunderstandingHebrew customsandHebrewways ofspeech.

Ourownlanguageisfull oftrapsfortheunwaryforeigner.Evenasimple wordwherethereisnotrap couldcauseadifficulty, thoughonlyanapparent one.PrinceCharlesiscalled the"heir"tothethroneof Britain.Heirmeanseldest son.Doesthatnecessarily implythathehasyounger brothers?

Itisallaquestionof languageusage.Inthecase inpoint,languageusage agreeswiththeoverwhelmingtraditionthroughouthistorythatJesuswasthe onlySonofHismother Mary.Toassertthecontrary isaspoorinscholarshipas itisirreverent.

WhyHappenings OfHiddenlife AreClosedBook

"T.T.",Banburywrites:

"Whyisitthatwereadand knowsolittleaboutChrist fromtheageoftwelveyears untilheisthirty?"
