3 Então os fariseus se aproximaram dele e, provando-o, perguntaram-lhe: É lícito ao homem se divorciar da sua mulher por qualquer causa?

4 Porém ele lhes respondeu: Não tendes lido que aquele que [os] fez no princípio, macho e fêmea os fez,

5 e disse: Portanto o homem deixará pai e mãe, e se unirá a sua mulher, e os dois serão uma única carne?

6 Assim eles já não são mais dois, mas sim uma única carne; portanto, o que Deus juntou, o ser humano não separe.

7 Eles lhe disseram: Por que, pois, Moisés mandou [lhe] dar carta de separação, e divorciar-se dela?
