Mark 10:1-12
-
1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
-
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
-
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
-
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
-
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
-
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
-
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
-
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
-
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
-
10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
-
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
-
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
