4 Jesus replied, "Haven’t you read that God who created people in the beginning made them male and female?19:4. See Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 5:2. 5 He said, ‘This is the reason a man will leave his father and mother, and join with his wife, and the two shall become one.’19:5. Literally, "one flesh." Quoting Genesis 2:24. 6 Now they’re no longer two, but one. What God has joined together no one should separate."
8 "Because of your hard-hearted attitude Moses permitted you to divorce your wives, but it wasn’t like that in the beginning," Jesus replied. 9 "I tell you, anyone who divorces his wife except on the grounds of sexual immorality and then marries another woman, commits adultery."
