Mark 10:1-16

1Then getting up from there, Yeshua goes to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. Again crowds gather around Him, and, as was His custom, He began to teach them once more.

2Pharisees came up, and to test Him they began asking, “Is it permitted for a man to divorce his wife?”

3And He replied to them, “What did Moses command you?”

4The Pharisees said, “Moses permitted a man to write a bill of divorce and to put her away.”

5But Yeshua said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment!

6But from the beginning of creation, God ‘made them male and female.

7For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

8and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate!”

10In the house, the disciples began questioning Him about this again.

11And He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

12And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she is committing adultery.”

13Now people were bringing little children to Yeshua so He might touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14But when Yeshua saw this, He got angry. He told them, “Let the little children come to Me! Do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

15Amen, I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it!”

16And He took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.
