Gospel of Mark

For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, most assuredly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,

'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched --

'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,

'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

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.
