Mark 10:2-12

Murdock(i) 2 And the Pharisees came to him, and, tempting him, inquired if it were lawful for a man to divorce his wife. 3 He said to them: What did Moses command you? 4 They said: Moses permitted us to write a bill of divorce, and send her away. 5 Jesus answered and said to them: On account of the hardness of your heart, Moses wrote you this precept. 6 But, from the beginning, God made them a male and a female. 7 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and adhere to his wife: 8 and they two shall be one flesh. Wherefore they are not two, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath conjoined, let not man separate. 10 And in the house, the disciples asked him again of this matter. 11 And he said to them: Whoever shall divorce his wife, and take another, committeth adultery. 12 And if a woman shall leave her husband, and marry another, she committeth adultery.
