Marriage and Divorce
1 Then He 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. 2
The 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,
“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 this precept. 6
But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and
female.’ 7 ‘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, “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.”
