19:3 There were two divergent views on when one was allowed to divorce one’s wife. One group of Pharisees, following Rabbi Shammai, argued that divorce was allowed only in the case of adultery or other grave sin, while the other group, following Rabbi Hillel, contended that a man could divorce his wife for any reason, such as if she burned his dinner.

προσῆλθον αὐτῷ & πειράζοντες αὐτὸν καὶ λέγοντες
approached ˱to˲_him & testing him and saying
Here, the word testing introduces the purpose for which some Pharisees approached Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a purpose. Alternate translation: [approached him with the goal of testing him, saying]
