Mark 10:1–12

¹And rising up thence he comes into the coasts of Judaea, and the other side of the Jordan. And again crowds come together to him, and, as he was accustomed, again he taught them. ²And Pharisees coming to him asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? (tempting him). ³But he answering said to them, What did Moses command you? ⁴And they said, Moses allowed to write a bill of divorce, and to put away. ⁵And Jesus answering said to them, In view of your hard-heartedness he wrote this commandment for you; ⁶but from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. ⁷For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be united to his wife, ⁸and the two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two but one flesh. ⁹What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate. ¹⁰And again in the house the disciples asked him concerning this. ¹¹And he says to them, Whosoever shall put away his wife and shall marry another, commits adultery against her. ¹²And if a woman put away her husband and shall marry another, she commits adultery.
