Mark 10:1-12

New International Reader's Version NIRV

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)

7 'That's why a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife.

8 The two of them will become one.'(Genesis 2:24) They are no longer two, but one.

9 So a man must not separate what God has joined together."

10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.

11 He answered, "What if a man divorces his wife and gets married to another woman? He commits adultery against her.

12 And what if she divorces her husband and gets married to another man? She commits adultery."

1 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.

2 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

3 “What did Moses command you?” he replied.

4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”

5 “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied.

6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’

7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,

8 and the two will become one flesh.’So they are no longer two, but one flesh.

9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.

11 He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.

12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”
