Jesus' Teaching on Divorce and Marriage

Jesus teaches about divorce and marriage, responding to a question from the Pharisees. He emphasizes that divorce was permitted due to hard hearts but was not God's original intention. He affirms the creational intent of marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, citing Genesis. Jesus highlights the importance of unity and warns against separating what God has joined. He further clarifies that divorce, except for sexual immorality, leads to adultery if one remarries. The disciples express the difficulty of Jesus' teaching, acknowledging that it is better not to marry if divorce is not an option.
