19:1 Yeshua answers about divorce
19 When Yeshua had finished these messages, he left Galilee and went to the Yudean regions on the other side of the Yordan River 2 and large crowds followed him, and he healed them.
3 Some from the Pharisees’ party approached him to test him by asking, “Is there any cause for which a man can dismiss his wife?”
4 [ref]“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that God made them male and female from the beginning? 5 [ref]And then how he said, ‘A man will leave his parents and be joined together with his wife, and then the two of them will be a single body’? 6 So then, they’re no longer two but are now one body, therefore don’t let any person separate what God has joined together.”
7 [ref]“So why did Mosheh allow us to give her a letter of divorce and then to send her away?” they asked him.
8 “It was because of your hard hearts that Mosheh allowed you to send away your wife,” Yeshua answered, “but it wasn’t like that at the beginning. 9 [ref]Now I’m telling you that anyone who sends away his wife because of sexual immorality and then remarries, is also causing adultery. Also the woman who was sent away if she remarries, she causes adultery.
10 His followers made the point, “If that’s the case for husband and wife, it’s better not to get married.”
11 “Not everyone can accept this,” Yeshua responded, “but only those with a special gift. 12 Because there are some men who are born from their mother’s womb without testicles, there are some who’ve been castrated by others, and there are some who castrate themselves because of the kingdom of the heavens. Anyone who is able to accept this can accept it.”
10:1 It’s God that joins husband and wife
10 Then Yeshua left Capernaum and went down to the Yudean area and across the Yordan river. Again the crowds followed him, and he taught them just like he usually did.
2 Some from the Pharisee party approached Yeshua to check him out and asked, “Does the law allow a husband to dismiss his wife?”
3 “Well, what law did Mosheh give to you all?” he asked.
4 [ref]They answered, “Mosheh said that a husband is allowed to write a statement of divorce and dismiss his wife with it.”
5 Yeshua responded, “Yes, he wrote that law because he saw your stubborn desires, 6 [ref]but God made both men and women right at the beginning. 7 [ref]As a result, a man leaves his parents and joins together with his wife 8 and the couple become a single unit. So there’s no longer two of them, but only one. 9 So if it’s God who joins them together like that, no person has the authority to separate them.”
10 Back in the house again, his apprentices asked about this. 11 [ref]And Yeshua told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another person, commits adultery towards his wife.” 12 And likewise if the wife divorces her husband and marries another person, she is committing adultery towards her husband.”

1Cor 7:10-11:
10 Now I (well, not I, but the master) command married people that a wife is not to be separated from her husband[ref] 11 (but even if she might be separated, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled to the husband), and a husband is not to divorce a wife.
