Mark 10:2-12

2 Some Pharisees came to test him. They asked, "Can a husband divorce his wife?"
3 Jesus answered them, "What command did Moses give you?"
4 They said, "Moses allowed a man to give his wife a written notice to divorce her."
5 Jesus said to them, "He wrote this command for you because you're heartless.
6 But God made them male and female in the beginning, at creation.
7 That's why a man will leave his father and mother and will remain united with his wife,
8 and the two will be one. So they are no longer two but one.
9 Therefore, don't let anyone separate what God has joined together."
10 When they were in a house, the disciples asked him about this.
11 He answered them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery.
12 If a wife divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery."
