1 When Jesus finished speaking, he left Galilee and traveled along the other side of the Jordan River to the territory of Judea.

2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

3 Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, |Can a man divorce his wife for any reason?|

4 Jesus answered, |Haven't you read that the Creator made them male and female in the beginning

5 and that he said, 'That's why a man will leave his father and mother and will remain united with his wife, and the two will be one'?
