1 When Jesus had finished this instruction, He departed from Galilee and went to the region of Judea across the Jordan.
2 Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3 Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds? ”
4 “Haven’t you read,” He replied, “that He who created them in the beginning made them male and female,”
5 and He also said:“For this reason a man will leavehis father and motherand be joined to his wife,and the two will become one flesh?
6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.”
