9Therefore, don’t let anyone separate what God has joined together.” 10When they were in a house, the disciples asked him about this. He answered them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery. 12If a wife divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.” 13Some people brought little children to Jesus to have him hold them.
