1. And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judaea beyond the Jordan;
2. and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3. And there came unto him Pharisees, trying him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4. And he answered and said, Have ye not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
5. and said, For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?
