Conclusion.

Divine story time.

A a confrontation where Jesus is questioned by the Pharisees about the Mosaic law on divorce, which they were using to justify divorce for almost any reason. In response, Jesus takes the argument back to Genesis, citing God's original design for marriage as an inseparable, divine union between a man and a woman. He establishes that marriage is a sacred, God-ordained covenant of unity, not a social contract that can be easily broken.

Key context

The Pharisees' question: The Pharisees posed a question about divorce to "test" Jesus, using the Mosaic law to see if He would contradict it.

Mosaic law: In Jesus' time, Jewish law was debated, and different interpretations, like those from the schools of Hillel and Shammai, allowed for divorce based on various reasons. Jesus argued this law was a concession to human "hardness of heart," not God's original intent.

Hillel Shammai were two influential and contemporary Jewish rabbis who lived in the late first century BCE and early first century CE, leading the two major schools of thought (or "houses") in Jewish law: Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai. The main difference between them was that Hillel was more lenient and focused on the spirit of the law, while Shammai was stricter and more focused on its letter. This is famously summarized by the phrase "the house of Shammai binds, and the house of Hillel looses".

Jesus' answer: Jesus redirects the discussion to the beginning of creation, quoting Genesis 2:24 to show that God's plan for marriage was a permanent, unified bond.

"One flesh": The phrase "one flesh" signifies a deep, holistic unity between a husband and wife, becoming a single entity in God's eyes.

"Let no one separate": This is Jesus' final command, emphasizing the permanence of this divine joining and a direct challenge to the ease with which people were divorcing in his era.
