Mark 10:2-12

Living_Oracles(i) 2 And some Pharisees came, who, to try him, asked him, Is it lawful for the husband to divorce his wife? 3 He answering, said to them, What precept has Moses given you on this subject? 4 They replied, Moses has permitted us to write her a bill of divorcement, and dismiss her. 5 Jesus answering, said to them, Because of your intractable disposition, Moses gave you this permission. 6 But from the beginning, at the creation, God made them a male and a female. 7 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife, 8 and they two shall be one flesh. They are, therefore, not longer two, but one flesh. 9 What then God has conjoined, let no man separate. 10 And, in the house, his disciples asked him anew concerning this matter. 11 He said to them, Whosoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her; 12 and if a woman divorce her husband, and marry another, she commits adultery.
