Mark 10:2-16 10:2 Some Pharisees came, and to test him they asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" 10:3 He answered them, "What did Moses command you?" 10:4 They said, "Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of dismissal and to divorce her." 10:5 But Jesus said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you. 10:6 But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.' 10:7 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 10:8 and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 10:9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." 10:10 Then in the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. 10:11 He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; 10:12 and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." 10:13 People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. 10:14 But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. 10:15 Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it." 10:16 And he took them up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them.
