In today’s Gospel, the Pharisees try to trap Jesus with a trick question.

The “lawfulness” of divorce in Israel was never an issue. Moses had long ago allowed it (see Deuteronomy 24:1–4). But Jesus points His enemies back before Moses, to “the beginning,” interpreting the text we hear in today’s First Reading.

En el evangelio de este domingo, los fariseos intentan atrapar a Jesús con una pregunta engañosa

La “legalidad” de divorcio en Israel nunca fue puesta en duda. Moisés lo había permitido (cfr Dt 24, 1-4). A pesar de esto, Jesús remonta a sus antagonistas a un tiempo anterior a Moisés: “el principio”, y les da su interpretación del texto que escuchamos en la primera lectura.
