2
Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, "Can a husband divorce his wife?"
3
Jesus answered them, "What command did Moses give you?"
4
They said, "Moses allowed a man to give his wife a written notice to divorce her."
5
Jesus said to them, "He wrote this command for you because you're heartless.
6
But God made them male and female in the beginning, at creation.
7
That's why a man will leave his father and mother and will remain united with his wife,
8
and the two will be one. So they are no longer two but one.
9
Therefore, don't let anyone separate what God has joined together."
10
When they were in a house, the disciples asked him about this.
11
He answered them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery.
12
If a wife divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery."
