Context of Mark 10:3

1Then Jesus left that place and he went to Judea. He went across to the east side of the Jordan River. Crowds of people came to him again. So he taught them, as he usually did. 2Some Pharisees came to Jesus. They wanted to find out how he would answer their question. They asked him, ‘Can a man send his wife away, so that she is no longer his wife? Is it right for him to do that?’ Jesus replied with a question: ‘What did Moses say was right for you?’ 4The Pharisees said, ‘Moses said that a man could write a letter to say that he and his wife are no longer married. Then the man can send the woman away.’ 5Jesus said to them, ‘You did not want to obey God. That is why Moses made this rule for you.
