ἐνετείλατο ] Deu_24:1, in which, indeed, there is no express command, though it may be said to contain κατὰ διάνοιαν the prescription of the bill of divorce. Mark—and in this his account is certainly more original—represents the whole reply of Jesus as beginning with the question as to the law of Moses on the matter (Mat_10:3). Moreover, the more appropriate expression ἐπέτρεψεν , which in Mat_19:8 is ascribed to Jesus (not so in Mark), undoubtedly betrays the influence of riper reflection.
Comp. besides, note on Mat_5:31.
