4. Jesus answered, “Surely you have read this in the Scriptures: When God made the world, ‘he made people male and female.’
5. And God said, ‘That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. And the two people will become one.’
6. So they are no longer two, but one. God has joined them together, so no one should separate them.”
7. The Pharisees asked, “Then why did Moses give a command allowing a man to divorce his wife by writing a certificate of divorce?”
8. Jesus answered, “Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because you refused to accept God’s teaching. But divorce was not allowed in the beginning.
