Matthew 19:3 in Context — Matthew 19
1 Lorsque Jésus eut achevé ces discours, il quitta la Galilée, et alla dans le territoire de la Judée, au-delà du Jourdain.
2 Une grande foule le suivit, et là il guérit les malades.
3 Les pharisiens l’abordèrent, et dirent, pour l’éprouver: Est-il permis à un homme de répudier sa femme pour un motif quelconque?
4 Il répondit: N’avez-vous pas lu que le créateur,au commencement, fit l’homme et la femme
5 et qu’il dit: C’est pourquoi l’homme quittera son père et sa mère, et s’attachera à sa femme, etles deux deviendront une seule chair?
