Is it possible to take the perfect participle, APOLELUMENHN, to be
middle rather than passive voice in the phrases KAI hOS EAN APOLELUMENHN
GAMHSH(i) MOICATAI in the latter part of Matthew 5:32 and KAI hO
APOLELUMENHN APO ANDROS GAMWN MOICEUEI in the latter part of Luke
16:18?
This would take the full verse in each case to mean that:
Jesus declared, first, that a man who divorces his wife in order to
marry another woman committs adultery.
And then He declared, in the part of the verses I have quoted, that a
man who marries a woman who has divorced her husband (for her own
benefit) also committs adultery.
