Mark 10:1-9 ▼

1 And having risen from thence, he comes into the bounds of Judea, through the other side of Jordan: and crowds came together again to him; and, as he was accustomed, again he taught them.

2 And the Pharisees having come near, asked him, if it is lawful for a man to loose his wife; tempting him.

3 And he, having answered, said to them, What did Moses command you?

4 And they said, Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to loose.

5 And Jesus, having answered, said to them, For your hard heart he wrote you this command.

6 And from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.

7 For this will a man leave his father and mother, and be attached to his wife;

8 And they two shall be in one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh.

9 What therefore God yoked together, let not man separate.
