Jesus answered them, “What command did Moses give you?”
Those who want to be controlled by Moses’ laws should tell me something. Are you really listening to what Moses’ Teachings say?
They should go to the teachings and to the written instructions. If people don’t speak these words, it is because it doesn’t dawn on them.
You study the Scriptures in detail because you think you have the source of eternal life in them. These Scriptures testify on my behalf.
Then an expert in Moses’ Teachings stood up to test Jesus. He asked, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, “Can a husband divorce his wife?”
They said, “Moses allowed a man to give his wife a written notice to divorce her.”
