Luke 16:16 Context
14And the Pharisees also who were couetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15And he said vnto them, Ye are they which iustifie your selues before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed amongst men, is abomination in the sight of God. 16The law and the Prophets were vntill Iohn: since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it. 17And it is easier for heauen and earth to passe, then one title of the law to faile. 18Whosoeuer putteth away his wife, & marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoeuer marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.
