2. And they asked him if it was permitted for a man to divorce his wife, in order to test him.
3. And he answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
4. So they said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.”
5. But Jesus said to them, “He wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.
6. But from the beginning of creation ‘he made them male and female.
7. Because of this a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife,
8. and the two will become one flesh,’ so that they are no longer two but one flesh.
9. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”
10. And in the house again the disciples began to ask him about this.
11. And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12. And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
13. And they were bringing young children to him so that he could touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.
14. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant, and said to them, “Let the young children come to me. Do not forbid them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
15. Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it.”
