Matthew 19:3-9

Listen to Matthew 19:3-9

3 Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, "¹Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?"

4 And He answered and said, "Have you not read ²that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE,

5 and said, '³FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND ⁴THE TWO SHALL BECOME * ONE FLESH '?

6 "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

7 They said to Him, "⁵Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY?"

8 He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way.

9 "And I say to you, ⁶whoever * divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery ."
