1 Then aHe arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes gathered to Him again, and as He was accustomed, He taught them again.
2aThe 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 aman 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 this1precept.
6But from the beginning of the creation, God a‘made them male and female.’
7a‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
8and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9Therefore 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.
12And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Jesus Blesses Little Children
13aThen they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
