And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.<\/p>\n
And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, \u201cIs it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?\u201d He answered them, \u201cWhat did Moses command you?\u201d They said, \u201cMoses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away.\u201d But Jesus said to them, \u201cFor your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, \u2018God made them male and female.\u2019 \u2018For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.\u2019 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.\u201d<\/p>\n
And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. And he said to them, \u201cWhoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.\u201d<\/p>\n
And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it he was indignant, and said to them, \u201cLet the children come to me, do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.\u201d And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.<\/p>\n
