3 ‘What did Moses command you?’ he replied.
4 They said, ‘Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.’
5 ‘It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,’ Jesus replied.
6 ‘But at the beginning of creation God “made them male and female”.
7 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
8 and the two will become one flesh.” So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
