Wesley's Notes for Matthew 5:34

5:32 Causeth her to commit adultery - If she marry again.

5:33 Our Lord here refers to the promise made to the pure in heart of seeing God in all things, and points out a false doctrine of the scribes, which arose from their not thus seeing God. What he forbids is, the swearing at all, by any creature, in our ordinary conversation: both of which the scribes and Pharisees taught to be perfectly innocent. #Exod 20:7|.

5:36 For thou canst not make one hair white or black - Whereby it appears, that this also is not thine but God's.
