Mark 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:11

And he saith unto them
The same things as in Mt 5:32, 19:9; (See Gill on Matthew 5:32), (See Gill on Matthew 19:9):

whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another;
when there is no uncleanness in the case; when his former wile has not injured him by violating the marriage bed:

committeth adultery against her;
to the injury of his lawful wife; or "upon her", or "with her", with the person he marries. The Syriac and Persic versions leave out the phrase, "against her".

Mark 10:11 In-Context

9 No human being must separate, then, what God has joined together."

10 When they went back into the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.

11 He said to them, "A man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against his wife.

12 In the same way, a woman who divorces her husband and marries another man commits adultery."

13 Some people brought children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples scolded the people.
