Master, which {is} the great commandment in the law?

For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for {one} covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. {that he...: or, if he hate her, put her away} {putting...: Heb. to put away}

The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.

The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to {her} husband: and let not the husband put away {his} wife.

Master, which {is} the great commandment in the law?
