translationNotes

• Jesus continues to teach about marriage and divorce.
• They say to him - "The Pharisees say to Jesus"
• command us - "command us Jews"
• certificate of divorce - document that legally ends the marriage
• from the beginning it was not that way - "when God created the man and woman he did not plan for them to ever divorce"
• except for fornication - "except for sexual unfaithfulness"
• and the man who marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery - Many early texts do not include these words.
