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'? 6 So they are no longer two but one. Therefore, don't let anyone separate what God has joined together.| Matthew 19:1-6, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
