When
Jesus
had
finished
these
words
, He
departed
from

into the
region
of
Judea
beyond
the
Jordan
;
2
and
large
crowds
followed
Him, and
3
He
healed
them
there
.

Is it
lawful
for a man to
divorce
his
wife
for
any
reason
at
all
?"
4

answered
and
said
,

read
5
that He who
created
them from the
beginning
MADE
THEM
MALE
AND
FEMALE
,
5
and
said
, '
6
FOR
THIS
REASON
A
MAN

HIS
FATHER

JOINED
TO HIS
WIFE

*

Why
then
did
Moses
command
to
GIVE
HER A
CERTIFICATE

her
AWAY

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
.
