Matthew 19:5 Douay-Rheims

For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.

Remigius of Auxerre

c. A.D. 841–908 Medieval

The Apostle says that this is a mystery in Christ and the Church (Eph. 5:32.); for the Lord Jesus Christ left His Father when He came down from heaven to earth; and He left His mother, that is, the synagogue, because of its unbelief, and clave unto His wife, that is, the Holy Church, and they two are one flesh, that is, Christ and the Church are one body.
