Mark 10:2-12

NSB(i) 2 Some Pharisees came to him and tried to trap him. »Does our Law allow a man to divorce his wife?« They asked. 3 »What did Moses command you?« Jesus asked. 4 They said: »Moses allowed us to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.« 5 »He wrote this commandment because of your hard hearts,« Jesus replied. 6 »God made male and female from the beginning of creation. 7 »For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife. 8 »The two shall become one flesh. They are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 »That which God has joined together let not man take apart (separate).« 10 In the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 11 He said: »He who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. 12 »If she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.
