Mark 10:2-12
Legacy Standard Bible
2 And some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to [a]divorce a wife. 3 And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?” 4 And they said, “(A)Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and [b]send her away.” 5 But Jesus said to them, “[c](B)Because of your hardness of heart he wrote for you this commandment. 6 But (C)from the beginning of creation, God (D)made them male and female. 7 (E)For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother[d], 8 (F)and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
10 And in the house the disciples began questioning Him about this again. 11 And He *said to them, “(G)Whoever [e]divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her; 12 and (H)if she herself [f]divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.”
