Mark 10:2-12 NAS
Some Pharisees came
up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was
lawful for a man to divorce a wife. And He answered and said to
them, "What did Moses command
you?" They said, "Moses
permitted a man
TO WRITE A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her
AWAY." But Jesus said to them, "Because
of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment. But from
the beginning of creation, God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE.
FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, AND THE TWO SHALL
BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. What
therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
In the house the disciples began questioning Him about this again.
And He said to them,
"Whoever divorces his wife and marries
another woman commits adultery against her; and if she herself divorces
her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery."
