| Matthew 19:7 | They say to him: *Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away? Deuteronomy 24:1. | The Pharisees, not satisfied, again attack our Saviour. To this second attack he replies: Moses indeed permitted you to put away your wives on account of the hardness of your hearts, and to prevent a greater evil, lest through your cruelty you should poison them, or put them to violent death; but in the natural law, signified by the beginning, it was not so. (Denis the Carthusian) |
