Mark 10:1-16

1ThenG2532 Jesus leftG450 that placeG1564 and wentG2064 intoG1519 theG3588 regionG3725 of JudeaG2449, beyondG4008 theG3588 JordanG2446. AgainG3825 the crowdsG3793 cameG4848 toG4314 HimG846 andG2532G3825 He taughtG1321 themG846, asG5613 was His customG1486.

2

Some PhariseesG5330 cameG4334 to testG3985 HimG846. “Is it lawfulG1487G1832 for a manG435 to divorceG630 his wifeG1135?” they inquiredG1905G846.

3“WhatG5101 did MosesG3475 commandG1781 youG4771?” He repliedG611G2036G846.

4

They answeredG2036, “MosesG3475 permittedG2010 a man to writeG1125 his wife a certificateG975 of divorceG647 andG2532 send her awayG630.”1

5ButG1161 JesusG2424 toldG2036 themG846, “Moses wroteG1125 thisG3778 commandmentG1785 for youG4771 because ofG4314 yourG4771 hardness of heartG4641. 6HoweverG1161, fromG575 the beginningG746 of creationG2937, ‘God madeG4160 themG846 maleG730 andG2532 femaleG2338.’2 7‘For this reasonG1752G3778 a manG444 will leaveG2641 hisG846 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384 andG2532 be unitedG4347 toG4314 hisG846 wifeG1135,3 8andG2532 theG3588 twoG1417 will becomeG1510G1519 oneG1520 fleshG4561.’4 SoG5620 they areG1510 no longerG3765 twoG1417, butG235 oneG1520 fleshG4561. 9ThereforeG3767 whatG3739 GodG2316 has joined togetherG4801, let manG444 notG3361 separateG5563.”

10WhenG2532 they were backG3825 insideG1519 theG3588 houseG3614, theG3588 disciplesG3101 askedG1905 Jesus aboutG4012 this matterG3778. 11So He toldG3004 themG846, “WhoeverG3739G302 divorcesG630 hisG846 wifeG1135 andG2532 marriesG1060 anotherG243 woman commits adulteryG3429 againstG1909 herG846. 12AndG2532 ifG1437 a womanG846 divorcesG630 herG846 husbandG435 and marriesG1060 anotherG243 man, she commits adulteryG3429.”

13NowG2532 people were bringingG4374 the little childrenG3813 toG846 Jesus forG2443 Him to place His handsG680 on themG846, andG1161 theG3588 disciplesG3101 rebukedG2008 those who brought them.

14ButG1161 when JesusG2424 saw thisG3708, He was indignantG23 andG2532 toldG2036 themG846, “LetG863 theG3588 little childrenG3813 comeG2064 toG4314 MeG1473, and do notG3361 hinderG2967 themG846! ForG1063 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 belongsG1510 toG3588 suchG5108 as these. 15TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, anyone whoG3739G302 does not receiveG3361G1209 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 likeG5613 a little childG3813 will never enterG3756G3361G1525G1519 itG846.” 16AndG2532 He took the children in His armsG1723, placedG5087 His handsG5495 onG1909 themG846, and blessedG2127 themG846.
