Mark 10:2-12

Williams(i) 2 Some Pharisees came up, and to test Him they began to ask Him whether a man should be allowed to divorce his wife. 3 And He answered them by asking, "What has Moses commanded you about it?" 4 They answered, "Moses allowed a man to divorce his wife, if he wrote out a divorce charge." 5 But Jesus said to them, "It was due to your moral perversity that Moses wrote that command in your law. 6 But from the beginning of the creation, 'God made them male and female. 7 Therefore, a man must leave his father and mother, 8 and he and his wife must become one,' so they are no longer two but one. 9 Therefore, what God has joined together man must stop separating." 10 On reaching the house the disciples again asked Him about this. 11 So He said to them, "If any man divorces his wife to marry another woman, he commits adultery against his former wife, 12 and if any woman divorces her husband to marry another man, she commits adultery."
