Compare all
2 aThe Pharisees came and asked Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” testing Him.  
3 And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
4 They said, a“Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her.”  
5 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this1 precept.  
6 But from the beginning of the creation, God a‘made them male and female.’  
7 a‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,  
8 and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
10 In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter.
11 So He said to them, a“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.  
12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for aof such is the kingdom of God.
