Matthew 19:1-7

1 And it came to pass that when Jesus had finished these sayings, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

2 And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

3 The Pharisees also came unto Him, testing Him and saying unto Him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?"

4 And He answered and said unto them, "Have ye not read, that He that made them at the beginning made them male and female,

5 and said, `For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh'?

6 Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

7 They said unto Him, "Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement and to put her away?"
