"Moses," they said, "permitted a man to 'draw up in writing a notice of separation and divorce his wife.'"
Her husband, Joseph, was a religious man and, being unwilling to expose her to contempt, resolved to put an end to their betrothal privately.
"Why, then," they said, "did Moses direct that a man should 'serve his wife with a notice of separation and divorce her'?"
"What direction did Moses give you?" replied Jesus.
