Mark 10:1-12
Jesus’ Teaching about Divorce
1 aSetting out from there, Jesus *went to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds *gathered to Him again, and, bas He was accustomed, He once more began to teach them. 2 And some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began questioning Him whether it was lawful for a man to ▼▼Lit send away, the Heb term for divorce
divorce his wife. 3And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?” 4They said, “ dMoses permitted a man to write a ▼▼Permitting her to remarry
certificate of divorce and ▼▼Or divorce her
send his wife away.” 5But Jesus said to them, “ ▼▼Or With reference to
hBecause of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. 6 But ifrom the beginning of creation, God jcreated them male and female. 7 kFor this reason a man shall leave his father and mother ▼▼Many late mss add and shall cling to his wife
, 8 m and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore, what God has joined together, no person is to separate.” 10 And in the house the disciples again began questioning Him about this. 11And He *said to them, “ nWhoever ▼▼Or sends away
divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; 12 and pif she herself ▼▼Or sends away
divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.”
