Mark 10:1-6

Divorce and remarriage

1 Jesus left that place and went beyond the Jordan and into the region of Judea. Crowds gathered around him again and, as usual, he taught them.

2 Some Pharisees came and, trying to test him, they asked, "Does the Law allow a man to divorce his wife?"

3 Jesus answered, " What did Moses command you?"

4 They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a divorce certificate and to divorce his wife."

5 Jesus said to them, " He wrote this commandment for you because of your unyielding hearts.

6 At the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
