6*But in the beginning, at the time of creation, ‘God made them male and female,’ as the scripture says. 7*‘And for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife,q 8*and the two will become one.’ So they are no longer two, but one. 9No human being then must separate what God has joined together.”

10When they went back into the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
