Matthew 19:1-6

1 When Yeshua had finished talking about these things, he left the Galil and traveled down the east side of the Yarden River until he passed the border of Y'hudah.
2 Great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Some P'rushim came and tried to trap him by asking, "Is it permitted for a man to divorce his wife on any ground whatever?"
4 He replied, "Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female,
5 and that he said, `For this reason a man should leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two are to become one flesh'?
6 Thus they are no longer two, but one. So then, no one should split apart what God has joined together."
