← Matthew 19:7	Matthew 19:8 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 19:9 [words of Jesus] →
They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?	He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.	And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
