Context of Mark 10:11

9Therefore, what God has united and joined together, man must not separate [by divorce].” 10In the house the disciples began questioning Him again about this. And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; 12and if a woman divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.” 13People were bringing children to Him so that He would touch and bless them, but the disciples reprimanded them and discouraged them [from coming].
