1. AND it came to pass when Jesus had ended these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea, beyond Jordan.

2. And great multitudes followed him: and he healed them there.

3. And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4. Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, Made them male and female? And he said:

5. For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.
