Gospel of Mark

He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"

He answered, "What did Moses command you?"

They said, "Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her."

But Jesus said to them, "For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

But from the beginning of the creation, 'God made them male and female.

For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,

and the two will become one flesh,' so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.
