4 They said, “Moses allowed a man to write out divorce papers and send her away.”
5 Jesus said, “Moses wrote that command for you because you refused to accept God’s teaching.
6 But when God made the world, ‘he made them male and female.’
7 ‘So a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife.
8 And the two people will become one body.’ So the people are not two, but one.
9 God has joined the two people together. So no one should separate them.”
10 Later, the followers and Jesus were in the house. They asked Jesus again about the question of divorce.
