5 and said, ^b‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and ^cthe two shall become one flesh’?

Mark 10:7-8

7 ^d‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit and hold fast to his wife} 8 and ^fthe two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh.
