Matthew 19:3-9
3 Some Pharisees came to ▼▼ Lit Him
Jesus, testing Him and asking, b“Is it lawful for a man to ▼▼ Or send away
divorce his wife for any reason at all?” 4And He answered and said, “Have you not read dthat He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5and said, ‘ e For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and f the 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.” 7They said to Him, g“Why then did Moses command to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?” 8He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to ▼▼ Or send away
divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. 9“And I say to you, iwhoever ▼▼ Or sends away
divorces his wife, except for ▼▼ Lit fornication
immorality, and marries another woman ▼▼ Some early mss read makes her commit adultery
commits adultery ▼▼ Some early mss add and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery
