And he [Jesus WU] arose from thence [there], and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of [the] Jordan: and the people resort [came] unto him again; and, as he was wont [usually did], he taught them again. MK 10:1 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [divorce] his wife? tempting [testing] him. MK 10:2 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? MK 10:3 And they said, Moses suffered [allowed] to write a bill [certificate] of divorcement, and to put her away [divorce her]. MK 10:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept [commandment]. MK 10:5 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. MK 10:6 For this cause [reason WU] shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to [join] his wife; MK 10:7 And they twain [two] shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. MK 10:8 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder [separate]. MK 10:9

And in the house his disciples asked him [Jesus WU] again of [about] the same matter. MK 10:10 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away [divorce] his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. MK 10:11 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. MK 10:12 RELATIONS Divorce
