Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Matthew 19:1-6

1When Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
3Then some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”
4Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
5and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?
6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
