² And Pharisees came to him, testing him with the question, Is it right for a man to put away his wife?

⁶ They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

⁵³ And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things;

⁵⁴ And watching him, for a chance to get something from his words which might be used against him.

¹³ But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.

¹⁴ And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him.

³² This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers belief in him, or any one of the Pharisees?

⁴⁷ Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone had knowledge where he was, he was to give them word, so that they might take him.

¹⁰ But to the married I give orders, though not I but the Lord, that the wife may not go away from her husband

¹¹ (Or if she goes away from him, let her keep unmarried, or be united to her husband again); and that the husband may not go away from his wife.

⁹ And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes.

³⁹ And the Lord said to him, You Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the plate clean; but inside you are thieves and full of evil.

³⁰ But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)

⁷ And the scribes and Pharisees were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to say something against him.

³¹ Again, it was said, Whoever puts away his wife has to give her a statement in writing for this purpose:

³² But I say to you that everyone who puts away his wife for any other cause but the loss of her virtue, makes her false to her husband; and whoever takes her as his wife after she is put away, is no true husband to her.

³⁴ But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.

¹² Then the disciples came and said to him, Did you see that the Pharisees were troubled when these words came to their ears?

¹ And the Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing him, made a request to him to give them a sign from heaven.

³ And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

³⁵ And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying,

¹¹ And the Pharisees came out and put questions to him, requesting from him a sign from heaven, testing him.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Take care to be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

³⁰ And the Pharisees and their scribes made protests against his disciples, saying, Why do you take food and drink with tax-farmers and sinners?

¹⁶ For I am against the putting away of a wife, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and against him who is clothed with violent acts, says the Lord of armies: so give thought to your spirit and do not be false in your acts.
