When the rest of
the servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and went to their
lord and told him everything.
Then the servant's lord called him and said, O, thou wicked servant! I
forgave thee all that debt because thou desired it of me. Should not
thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant as I had pity on
thee? His lord was angry and delivered him to the tormentors until he
paid all that was due. So also shall my heavenly Father do to you if ye
do not forgive other's trespasses.
19 After this, Jesus left Galilee and went to the coasts of
Judaea beyond Jordan. Great multitudes followed Him and He healed many
there. The Pharisees came to test Him. They asked Him, Is it lawful for
a man to divorce his wife for every cause?
Jesus answered, Have ye not read: He who made them at the beginning,
male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and
mother and shall cleave to his wife. The two shall be one? Therefore,
they are no longer two but one flesh. What God has joined together, let
no one put asunder.
They said, Why, then, did Moses allow a writing of divorcement? Jesus
said, Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to
divorce your wives. But, from the beginning, it was not so. I say to
you, Whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries
another, commits adultery.
