Jesus Teaches about Divorce

Then Jesus left that place, went to the province of Judea, and crossed the Jordan River. Crowds came flocking to him again, and he taught them, as he always did.

Some Pharisees came to him and tried to trap him. “Tell us,” they asked, “does our Law allow a man to divorce his wife?”

Their answer was, “Moses gave permission for a man to write a divorce notice and send his wife away.”

He said to them, “A man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against his wife.

In the same way, a woman who divorces her husband and marries another man commits adultery.”
