And when Jesus had finished, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts
of Judaea beyond Jordan
The Pharisees also came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it legal
for a man to divorce his wife for all kinds of reasons? And he said to them, Have you not read, that he who made them at the beginning
made them male and female, And said, For this reason will a man leave father and mother, and will join to
his wife: and the two will be one flesh? So now they are not two, but one flesh. Let no man, therefore, put asunder that
which God has coupled together.
They said to him, Why did Moses then command to give a certificate of divorce,
and to divorce her?
He said to them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts allowed you to divorce
your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. So, I say to you, Whoever divorces his wife (unless it is because of adultery)
and then marries another, breaks wedlock. And whoever marries she who is
divorced does also commit adultery.
- Matthew 19:1-19:9 in the AeP Tyndale21 Version of the Gospels
