^{4 Ref} And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

^{5 Ref} And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

^{6 Ref} But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

^{7 Ref} For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

^{8 Ref} And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

^{9 Ref} What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

^{10 Ref} And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

^{4 Ref} and they said, `Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.'

^{5 Ref} And Jesus answering said to them, `For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,

^{6 Ref} but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them;

^{7 Ref} on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife,

^{8 Ref} and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;

^{9 Ref} what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.'

^{10 Ref} And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him,

^{4 Ref} And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her.

^{5 Ref} But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law.

^{6 Ref} But from the first, male and female made he them.

^{7 Ref} For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife;

^{8 Ref} And the two will become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

^{9 Ref} Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.

^{10 Ref} And in the house the disciples put questions to him again about this thing.
