Mark:10:2-12

*
And the Pharisees having approached ,
they demanded of him if it is permitted for a man to divorce a wife ,
testing him .
*
And having answered ,
he said to them ,
What did Moses command you ?
*
And they said ,
Moses permitted to write a document of divorce ,
and to divorce her .
*
But having answered ,
Jesus said to them ,
For your hard heart he wrote for you this commandment .
*
But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female .
*
Because of this a man will leave his father and mother behind ,
and will be bonded with his wife ,
*
and the two will be in one flesh .
So then they are no more two ,
but one flesh .
*
What therefore God has joined together ,
no man shall separate .
*
And in the house the disciples questioned him again about the same thing .
*
And he says to them ,
Whoever may divorce his wife ,
and will marry another ,
commits adultery against her .
*
And if a woman should divorce her husband ,
and will be married to another ,
she commits adultery .
