1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the region of Judea beyond Jordan;
2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, testing him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?
6 Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.
