1 When Jesus finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went to the territory of Judea on the other side of the Jordan River.
2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Some Pharisees came to him and tried to trap him by asking, “Does our Law allow a man to divorce his wife for whatever reason he wishes?”
4 Jesus answered, “Haven't you read the scripture that says that in the beginning the Creator made people male and female?
5 And God said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife, and the two will become one.’
6 So they are no longer two, but one. No human being must separate, then, what God has joined together.”
7 The Pharisees asked him, “Why, then, did Moses give the law for a man to hand his wife a divorce notice and send her away?”
