Matthew 19:8-9

Context
19:8 Jesus 1  said to them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of your hard hearts, 2  but from the beginning it was not this way. 19:9 Now I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another commits adultery.”

1 tc A few important mss (א Φ pc) have the name “Jesus” here, but it is probably not original. Nevertheless, this translation routinely specifies the referents of pronouns to improve clarity, so that has been done here.

tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Grk “heart” (a collective singular).
