Some Pharisees approached him, and tested him,saying, “Is it lawful
for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?” He said in
reply, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made
them male and female’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his
father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become
one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what
God has joined together, no human being must separate.”
