These men were the Pharisees. And on this day, they had the perfect controversial question to try to humiliate Jesus with, or to use a modern concept, to cancel Him. And that was the issue of divorce, specifically the question of on what grounds could a man legitimately divorce his wife? This was a dangerous question for Jesus to answer because He could offend so many people. What is Jesus to do? Turn to Matthew 19 to follow along.
