Mark:10:2-12

*
And some Pharisees approached and asked Him , "
Is it lawful for a husband to put away his wife ?"
testing Him .
*
But answering He said to them , "
What did Moses command you ?"
*
They said , "
Moses permitted [
a man ]
to write a certificate of divorce ,
and to put her away ."
*
And Jesus answered and said to them , "
In view of your hardheartedness he wrote this commandment for you .
*
But from the beginning of the creation ,
God '
made them male and female .'
* '
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife ,
* '
and the two shall become one flesh ';
so then they are no longer two ,
but one flesh .
*
Therefore what God has united together ,
let not man separate ."
*
In the house His disciples also asked Him again concerning the same [
matter ].
*
So He said to them , "
Whoever should put away his wife and marry another commits adultery against her .
*
And if a wife should put away her husband and be married to another ,
she commits adultery ."
