Jesus Christ confirmed this Bible account of the divine origin of marriage, saying to critics of his day: “Did you not read that 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 ’?
त्याच्या काळातल्या टीकाकारांना उत्तर देताना तो म्हणाला: “तुम्ही वाचले नाही काय की, उत्पन्‍नकर्त्याने सुरुवातीलाच नरनारी अशी ती निर्माण केली, व म्हटले ह्‍याकरिता पुरुष आईबापास सोडून आपल्या बायकोशी जडून राहील आणि ती दोघे एकदेह होतील?
