The Jews permitted divorce. Jesus said it was wrong to divorce and if you with someone else it constitutes adultry.
As for the other quote He meant that a lot of people were not going to accept His ways and would persecute and execute those that did.

Matthew 5:32 means:
If you didn't like last nights supper, and divorced your wife for that or any other silly reason, you would be causing her to be committing adultry with the next man she married. The jews in those days were divorcing for silly reasons and then their ex-wives would go on to the next husband. It was a system where there was a lot of people marraige hopping. Jesus wanted to show them how God sees this kind of behavior. Also if a man marries a woman who was divorced for a lame reason, he's entering into a situation where God still views the original couple as not divorcing for a good reason and that they should be together. So that man has entered into a marraige bed of a woman whom He (God) wants with her original husband.
Matthew 10:34 The sword was the word of God. He used the term "sword" because what do swords do? They cut deep and they divide. Which is what the truth of Jesus Christ can do. It can divide the world and divide even families. Here's another sword reference.
Hbr 4:12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
It can get right in there to the heart of the matter and affect our very spirits.
Rev 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength.
Out of his mouth? The word of God came out of his mouth and it is sharper than a sword in that it can divide between our soul and spirit. There is power behind it. Restrained power right now but in the end times, the very words that come out of His mouth will destroy nations.
Rev 19:15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

This means that a man cannot divorce his wife unless she or he commits fornication ( sleeps with someone else) If the woman leaves her husband for anyother reason and marries someone else she has sinned against God and the man that marries her has sinned against God.
God did not come to bring peace on earth he came to bring his word. Alot of people do not believe in the entire bible. The just believe they have to only believe in Jesus and they are saved.
The bible says that he that indures until the END the same SHALL be saved. Meaning you have to believe in him until the end of time, the end is not here yet. We must keep his laws, despite what the world tells you. You must read the bible the whole bible.

before everything, the Bible has extra information to help that is accuracy as a historic record than the different books written that in the time of the past by utilising a great margin. So claiming that the Bible we've immediately isn't comparable to while it became initially written is a ploy that countless cults have continually used while they like to teach some thing that contradicts God's observe. God is God. He rather can shelter his observe to mankind in the process the centuries. Secondly, God isn't basically eternal yet he's unchanging. meaning that He would not improve older and alter his ideas approximately issues. So if any prophet or e book claims to have come from divine thought and it contradicts what God has already pronounced then you definately comprehend that the declare is spurious. it is not correct if that's a Muslim prophet or a Mormon prophet or somene who claims to be a Christian prophet. If it would not believe what God has already pronounced then it is not from Him and that is incorrect.

Matthew 5
I think means, that you should divorce your wife if you don't want her, don't respect her, = this in the old testment, such we don't live in the OT we live in the NT.
"""""""""""""""31"It has been said, """""""""""'Anyone who divorces his ......
I dont know english but its clear that, that ---has been said ---the PAST. then he continuing saying... But I say.....
So You can divorce your wife if she commit adultery.
Any one who marry this divorced woman commit adultery.
Its like a chain.
Also you have to consider the ways of life they have at the times of Jesus , such I am not sure about this. But words of Jesus last to this days.
"Thruth and righteous" and "Sheep..." gave you better explanations on this, remenber to read the entire bible to understand somethings, about divorce and adultery : there are thousands of verses in the bible, such i didn't read but read this two answers about seems they did read, Matthew 10 you can understand if you are christian just reading the fallowing verses after the 10:34 , read the continuations
Matthew 10:34
Must be read it the context, after and before.
read 34 , 35, 36 and 37 explain about 34, 35 and 36
finally 38,39, explain more bigger picture what He is talking about.

The first part talks about divorce and not marrying divorced people unless that divorce came from adutery.
No Fault Divorce is not allowed according to Jesus.
The second, the Bible sometimes uses the term sword to be metaphorical, but Jesus did say all all you own a buy a sword.
Jesus also said those who live by the sword die by the sword.
Jesus didn't intend man convert by the point of a sword, but he did bring revolutionary ideas and revolutions are not, by their nature, peaceful.

Matt 5: You are allowed to divorce your wife only if she has cheated on you. Any other reason and you both are committing adultery by having sex or marrying some one else.
