4. He answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female,
5. and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
7. They said to him, “Why then did Moses command us to give a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her?”
8. Jesus said to them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts, but from the beginning it was not this way.
9. Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another commits adultery.”
10. The disciples said to him, “If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is better not to marry!”
