3 Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: "Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for just any reason?"
7 "Then why did Moses say in the law that a man could give his wife a written notice of divorce and send her away?"19:7 See Deut 24:1. they asked.
8 Jesus replied, "Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended.9 And I tell you this, whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery—unless his wife has been unfaithful.19:9 Some manuscripts add And anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Compare Matt 5:32."
