1 And it came to pass when Jesus finished these words that He withdrew from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.

2 And many crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

3 And Pharisees came to Him, testing Him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to send away his wife for any cause?”

4 And answering, He said, “Did you? not read that the One having created from the beginning ‘made them male and female,’

5 and He said, ‘On account of this a man will leave the father and the mother and be joined with his wife, and the two will be for one flesh’?

6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God yoked together, let man not separate.”

7 They say to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give her a roll of divorce and to send her away?”

8 He says to them, “Moses, for your? hardness of heart, allowed you? to divorce your? wives; but it has not been this way from the beginning.
