Matthew 19:2-9

2and 1largeG4183 crowdsG3793 followedG190 Him, and 2He healedG2323 them thereG1563.

3Some PhariseesG5330 cameG4334 to 3Jesus, testingG3985 Him and 4askingG3004, “5Is it lawfulG1832 for a man to 6divorceG630 his wifeG1135 for anyG3956 reasonG156 at all?” 4And He answeredG611 and saidG3004, “Have you not readG314 7that He who createdG2936 them from the beginningG746 madeG4160 them maleG733 and femaleG2338, 5and saidG3004, ‘8For thisG3778 reasonG1752 a manG444 shall leaveG2641 his fatherG3962 and his motherG3384 and be joinedG2853 to his wifeG1135, and 9the twoG1417 shall becomeG1510 G1519 oneG1520 fleshG4561’? 6SoG5620 they are noG3765 longerG3765 twoG1417, but oneG1520 fleshG4561. ThereforeG3767, whatG3739 GodG2316 has joinedG4801 togetherG4801, noG3361 personG444 is to separateG5563.” 7They saidG3004 to Him, “10WhyG5101, thenG3767, did MosesG3475 commandG1781 to giveG1325 her a certificateG975 of divorceG647 and sendG630 her awayG630?” 8He saidG3004 to them, “BecauseG4314 of your hardnessG4641 ofG4641 heartG4641 MosesG3475 permittedG2010 you to 11divorceG630 your wivesG1135; but from the beginningG746 it has not beenG1096 thisG3779 wayG3779. 9And I sayG3004 to you, 12whoeverG3739 G302 13divorcesG630 his wifeG1135, exceptG3361 for sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, and marriesG1060 anotherG243 womanG243 14commitsG3429 adulteryG3429 15.”
