Summary/Abstract: The Church’s teaching on marriage, especially on its indissolubility, is highly contested even by many Catholics themselves. The indissolubility is frequently considered without connection to the biblical anthropology. The subject of the study are Jesus’ statements on this issue examined in their immediate context of the Gospel narration and in their relationship to the first chapters of the Bible. God brings to perfection His work with the creation of man and woman in His own image and likeness because in marriage they should transmit His blessing to their children and to the earth subdued to them. The last part of the paper considers the meanings of the Greek word porneia in Jesus’ teaching according to Matthew.
