Divorces and Marriages


Matthew 19

A Pharisee asked Jesus to trap him in flaws,
Can a man divorce his wife for any cause?
Jesus started by saying, Have you not read,
Since the start man and woman are to wed,
It's why mom and dad releases their son,
He then finds a wife who becomes as one;
Being of one flesh they're no longer two,
Let no one asunder what God done for you;
But then he said Why did Moses command,
Putting her away with a divorce on demand;
Jesus then replied, Moses for his severity,
Putting away your wife is really a rarity;
Anyone who divorces one for another,
Committed adultery what God's words utter;
Whoever marries her after being put away,
Also commits adultery until his dying day;
Another said, If a man is so with his wife,
Is it not expedient to marry before strife?
Jesus replied, Some can't abide in the word,
Other than a eunuch obey what you heard.
