Mark 10:2-12

Anderson(i) 2 And the Pharisees came to him, and that they might tempt him, asked him the question: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? 3 He answered and said to them: What commandment did Moses give you? 4 They replied: Moses permitted us to write a bill of divorce, and put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said to them: On account of the hardness of your hearts, he wrote this commandment for you. 6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; 8 and the two shall be one flesh. So, then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house, his disciples again asked him about the same matter. 11 And he said to them: Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her; 12 and if a woman puts away her husband, and is married to another, she commits adultery.
