Mark 10:1-12

Mark 10:1-12 CSB

He  set out from there and went to the region of Judea  and across the Jordan.  Then crowds converged on him again, and as was his custom he taught  them again. Some Pharisees  came to test  him, asking, “Is it lawful  for a man to divorce  his wife? ”  He replied to them, “What did Moses   command you? ” They said, “Moses permitted us to write divorce papers  and send her away.”  But Jesus told them, “He wrote this command for you because of the hardness of your hearts.   But from the beginning   of creation   God   made them male and female.   , For this reason a man will leave   his father and mother   and the two will become one flesh.   , So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”   When they were in the house again, the disciples questioned him about this matter. He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife   and marries   another commits adultery   against her. Also, if she divorces her husband   and marries another, she commits adultery.”
