1 When Jesus had finished saying these things,¹ he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them² there. 3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife³ for any and every reason?" 4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'^a⁴ 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'^b ?⁵ 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
