Mark 10:2-12

2Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, “Can a husband divorce his wife?”

3Jesus answered them, “What command did Moses give you?”

4They said, “Moses allowed a man to give his wife a written notice to divorce her.”

5Jesus said to them, “He wrote this command for you because you’re heartless.

6But God made them male and female in the beginning, at creation.

7That’s why a man will leave his father and mother and will remain united with his wife,

8and the two will be one. So they are no longer two but one.

9Therefore, don’t let anyone separate what God has joined together.”

10When they were in a house, the disciples asked him about this.

11He 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.”
