Mark 10: 1 - 12
|
| 1 | And he left there and went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again; and again, as his custom was, he taught them. |
| 2 | And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" |
| 3 | He answered them, "What did Moses command you?" |
| 4 | They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to put her away." |
| 5 | But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. |
| 6 | But from the beginning of creation, `God made them male and female.' |
| 7 | `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, |
| 8 | and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh. |
| 9 | What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder." |
| 10 | And in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. |
| 11 | And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her; |
| 12 | and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." |
