Mark 10:1-12

Complete Jewish Bible

10 Then Yeshua left that place and went into the regions of Y’hudah and the territory beyond the Yarden. Again crowds gathered around him; and again, as usual, he taught them. ² Some P’rushim came up and tried to trap him by asking him, “Does the Torah permit a man to divorce his wife?” ³ He replied, “What did Moshe command you?” ⁴ They said, “Moshe allowed a man to hand his wife a get and divorce her.”^{[a] 5} But Yeshua said to them, “He wrote this commandment for you because of your hardheartedness. ⁶ However, at the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.^{[b] 7} For this reason, a man should leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, ⁸ and the two are to become one flesh.^[c] Thus they are no longer two, but one. ⁹ So then, no one should break apart what God has joined together.” ¹⁰ When they were indoors once more, the talmidim asked him about this. ¹¹ He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against his wife; ¹² and if a wife divorces her husband and marries another man, she too commits adultery.”
