Matthew 19:7
Douay-Rheims
They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?
John Chrysostom (attributed)
This sentence of chastity seemed hard to these adulterers; but they could not make answer to the argument. Howbeit, they will not submit to the truth, but betake themselves for shelter to Moses, as men having a bad cause fly to some powerful personage, that where justice is not, his countenance may prevail; They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
