Matthew 19:4

οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε : the words quoted are to be found in Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:24. ὁ κτίσας : the participle with article used substantively = the Creator. ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς goes along with what follows, Christ's purpose being to emphasise the primitive state of things. From the beginning God made man, male and female; suited to each other, needing each other. ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ : “one male and one female, so that the one should have the one; for if He had wished that the male should dismiss one and marry another He would have made more females at the first,” Euthy.
