Mark 10:1-6

Jesus Teaches About Divorce

1 Jesus left that place and went into the area of Judea and across the Jordan River. Again crowds of people came to him. As usual, he taught them.

2 Some Pharisees came to put him to the test. They asked, "Does the Law allow a man to divorce his wife?"

3 "What did Moses command you?" he replied.

4 They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a letter of divorce and send her away."

5 "You were stubborn. That's why Moses wrote you this law," Jesus replied.

6 "But at the beginning of creation, God 'made them male and female.'(Genesis 1:27)
