Matthew 19:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ Because of this, a man leaves his father and his mother. God joins him and his wife together. The man and the woman become like one body. ⁶ They are not two separate people any longer. They have come together as one person. God has put them together to be husband and wife. So nobody should make them separate.’

⁷ Then the Pharisees said to Jesus, ‘Moses said that a man could write a letter to say that he and his wife are no longer married. Then the man can send the woman away. Why did Moses say this?’
