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 Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art by cutting them apart."
10 When they were back home, the disciples brought it up again.
11 Jesus gave it to them straight: "A man who divorces his wife so he can marry someone else commits adultery against her.
12 And a woman who divorces her husband so she can marry someone else commits adultery."
