Mk
10:1-12:"And he arose from
thence, and cometh into the
coasts of Judaea by the
farther side of Jordan: and
the people resort unto him
again; and, as he was wont, he
taught them again. And the
Pharisees came to him, and
asked him, Is it lawful for a
man to put away his wife?
tempting him. And he answered
and said unto them, What did
Moses command you? And they
said, Moses suffered to write
a bill of divorcement, and to
put her away. And Jesus
answered and said unto them,
For the hardness of your heart
he wrote you this precept. But
from the beginning of the
creation God made them male
and female. For this cause
shall a man leave his father
and mother, and cleave to his
wife;
And they twain shall be one
flesh: so then they are no
more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined
together, let not man put
asunder. And in the house his
disciples asked him again of
the same matter. And he saith
unto them, Whosoever shall put
away his wife, and marry
another, committeth adultery
against her. And if a woman
shall put away her husband,
and be married to another, she
committeth adultery".
Mt
19:1-12: "And it came to
pass, that when Jesus had
finished these sayings, he
departed from Galilee, and
came into the coasts of Judaea
beyond Jordan; And great
multitudes followed him; and
he healed them there. The
Pharisees also came unto him,
tempting him, and saying unto
him, Is it lawful for a man to
put away his wife for every
cause? And he answered and
said unto them, Have ye not
read, that he which made them
at the beginning made them
male and female, And said, For
this cause shall a man leave
father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife: and they
twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more
twain, but one flesh. What
therefore God hath joined
together, let not man put
asunder. They say unto him,
Why did Moses then command to
give a writing of divorcement,
and to put her away? He saith
unto them, Moses because of
the hardness of your hearts
suffered you to put away your
wives: but from the beginning
it was not so. And I say unto
you, Whosoever shall put away
his wife, except it be for
fornication, and shall marry
another, committeth adultery:
and whoso marrieth her which
is put away doth commit
adultery. His disciples say
unto him, If the case of the
man be so with his wife, it is
not good to marry. But he said
unto them, All men cannot
receive this saying, save they
to whom it is given. For there
are some eunuchs, which were
so born from their mother's
womb: and there are some
eunuchs, which were made
eunuchs of men: and there be
eunuchs, which have made
themselves eunuchs for the
kingdom of heaven's sake. He
that is able to receive it",
