Wycliffe Bible
3 And the Pharisees came to him, tempting him, and said, Whether it be leaveful to a man to leave his wife, for any cause?[a]
4 Which answered, and said to them, Have ye not read, for he that made men at the beginning, made them male and female?
5 And he said, For this thing a man shall leave father and mother, and he shall draw to his wife [and he shall cleave, or draw, to his wife]; and they shall be twain in one flesh.
