Matthew 19:5-8 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

5. That's why a man leaves his father and mother and gets married. He becomes like one person with his wife.

6. Then they are no longer two people, but one. And no one should separate a couple that God has joined together.”

7. The Pharisees asked Jesus, “Why did Moses say that a man could write out divorce papers and send his wife away?”

8. Jesus replied, “You are so heartless! That's why Moses allowed you to divorce your wife. But from the beginning God did not intend it to be that way.
