Exegesis
The prepositional phrase kata pasan aitian {κατὰ πᾶσαν αἰτίαν | ka-tá pâ-san ai-tí-an} specifies scope, “for every cause,” suggesting an extremely broad range of permissible grounds. In translation, the participles are rendered as finite verbal phrases (“putting Him to the test,” “trying to trap Him”) to clarify the Pharisees’ intent, and the legal formula exestin is consistently expressed with “is it lawful / legally,” preserving the juridical tone while producing natural English word order.
In context — Matthew 19:3
And Pharisees came to Him , putting Him to the test , and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?”
