Mark 10:1–9
1He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.↗
2Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”↗
3He answered,“What did Moses command you?”↗
4They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”↗
5But Jesus said to them,“For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.↗
6But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.↗
7For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,↗
8and the two will become one flesh,so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.↗
9What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”↗
