Luke 16:14-18

14Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things and were sneering and ridiculing Him.

15So He said to them, “You are the ones who declare yourselves just and upright in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts [your thoughts, your desires, your secrets]; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.

16“The Law and the [writings of the] Prophets were proclaimed until John; since then the gospel of the kingdom of God has been and continues to be preached, and everyone tries forcefully to go into it.

17Yet it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a letter of the Law to fail and become void.

18“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
