What does Matthew 19:1 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
Mt 19:1-12. Final Departure from Galilee--Divorce. ( = Mr 10:1-12; Lu 9:51).
Farewell to Galilee (Mt 19:1, 2). 1. And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee--This marks a very solemn period in our Lord's public ministry. So slightly is it touched here, and in the corresponding passage of Mark (Mr 10:1), that few readers probably note it as the Redeemer's Farewell to Galilee, which however it was. See on the sublime statement of Luke (Lu 9:51), which relates to the same transition stage in the progress of our Lord's work. and came into the coasts--or, boundaries of Judea beyond Jordan--that is, to the further, or east side of the Jordan, into Perea, the dominions of Herod Antipas. But though one might conclude from our Evangelist that our Lord went straight from the one region to the other, we know from the other Gospels that a considerable time elapsed between the departure from the one and the arrival at the other, during which many of the most important events in our Lord's public life occurred--probably a large part of what is recorded in Lu 9:51, onward to Lu 18:15, and part of Joh 7:2-11:54.Robert Jamieson, A.

Verses 1-12. See also Mk 10:1-12.
Verse 1. Coasts of Judea beyond Jordan. Probably our Saviour was then going from Galilee up to Jerusalem, to one of the great feasts of the Jews. Samaria was between Galilee and Jerusalem; and, choosing not to go through it, he crossed the Jordan, and passed down on the east side of it, through Peraea, a region of country belonging to Judea, formerly a part of the tribes Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh. See the Map.

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Introduction
Jesus leaves Galilee, and comes into the coasts of Judea, and is followed by great multitudes, whom he heals, Mat 19:1, Mat 19:2. The question of the Pharisees concerning divorce answered, and the doctrine of marriage explained, Mat 19:3-9. The inquiry of the disciples on this subject, Mat 19:10. Our Lord's answer, explaining the case of eunuchs, Mat 19:11, Mat 19:12. Little children brought to Christ for his blessing, Mat 19:13-15. The case of the young man who wished to obtain eternal life, Mat 19:16-22. Our Lords reflections on this case, in which he shows the difficulty of a rich man's salvation, Mat 19:23-26. What they shall possess who have left all for Christ's sake and the Gospel. Mat 19:27-29 How many of the first shall be last, and the last first, Mat 19:30. Verse 1 Beyond Jordan - Or, by the side of Jordan. Matthew begins here to give an account of Christ's journey (the only one he mentions) to Jerusalem, a little before the passover, at which he was crucified. See Mar 10:1; Luk 9:51. Jesus came from Galilee (which lay to the north of Judea) into the coasts of Judea; and from thence, in his way to Jerusalem, he went through Jericho, (Mat 20:17, Mat 20:29), which lay at the distance of sixty furlongs, or seven miles and a half from Jordan, to the western side of it. See Joseph. War, book iv. chap. 8. sect. 3. It seems, therefore, most probable, that the course of Christ's journey led him by the side of the river Jordan, not beyond it. That the Greek word περαν, especially with a genitive case as here, has sometimes this signification, see on Joh 6:22 (note); see also Bp. Pearce.Adam Clarke, 1831 · public domain

he departed.This was our Lord's final departure from Galilee, previous to his crucifixion; but he appears to have taken in a large compass in his journey, and passed through the districts east of Jordan. Some learned men, however, are of opinion, that instead of "beyond Jordan," we should render, "by the side of Jordan," as [peran ,] especially with a genitive, sometimes signifies.
