Mark 10:1-8 ▼

1 And he arose from thence, and went into the coastes of Iudea by the farre side of Iordan, and the people resorted vnto him againe, and as he was wont, he taught them againe.

2 Then the Pharises came and asked him, if it were lawfull for a man to put away his wife, and tempted him.

3 And he answered, and sayde vnto them, What did Moses commaund you?

4 And they sayd, Moses suffered to write a bill of diuorcement, and to put her away.

5 Then Iesus answered, & sayd vnto them, For the hardnes of your heart he wrote this precept vnto you.

6 But at the beginning of the creation God made them male and female:

7 For this cause shall man leaue his father and mother, and cleaue vnto his wife.

8 And they twaine shalbe one flesh: so that they are no more twaine, but one flesh.
