3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”
4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who1 made them at the beginning a‘made them male and female,’
5 and said, a‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and bthe two shall become one flesh’?
6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
7 They said to Him, a“Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the ahardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your bwives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 aAnd I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for1 sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
10 His disciples said to Him, a“If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”
