For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,…. The Persic version adds, “and brethren and sisters”, though without any foundation in the original text, in Ge 2:24, from whence this passage is cited; or in any copy of the evangelist:
and cleave to his wife; [See comments on Mt 19:5].
