When asked about marriage, Jesus said: “He who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said, ‘ For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh. ’ ” ​ — Matthew 19: 4, 5.
Kui Jeesusele esitati abielu kohta küsimus, vastas ta: „See, kes nad alguses lõi, tegi nad meheks ja naiseks ning ütles:„ Seepärast jätab mees oma isa ja ema ning hoiab kokku oma naisega ja need kaks saavad üheks lihaks ” ”.
