   09/01 - GospeL Verses

 1 - He left Capernaum and went to the region of Judea and out beyond the Jordan. And crowds once again gathered to him. And as was his custom, he taught them.

      2 And Pharisees came and attempted to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” 3 He answered them, “What did Moses command you?” 4 They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send his wife away.” (Rather than sending her away without divorce.) 5 And Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment/instruction/law. 6 But at the beginning and forming of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’

     7 ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and will join to his wife, 8 and the two are then one.’ So they are no longer two but one. 9 What therefore God has joined together, man shouldn’t separate.” (“Except for adultery” Mt.19:9, and of course abuse. We’re all born sinners/missing the mark/imperfect and have not done all things perfectly, and still don’t. Jesus did not scold the woman of Samaria he met at the well, who had had five husbands. Only once born anew can anyone hope to genuinely do better in this life.)
