Jesus goes to the other side of the Jordan
Jesus was teaching the people when the Pharisees tested Him. They asked if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife. He responded by asking them:
"What did Moses command you?"
They replied that Moses allowed a man to divorce his wife. Jesus said to them:
"Because of your selfish hearts, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives. But from the beginning of creation God made you male and female. For a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
Later, His disciples asked Him the same question. He told them:
"Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
