NARRATOR: As Jesus was teaching a crowd, Pharisees came and asked him a question to test him.
PHARISEE 1: Tell us, does the Law allow a husband to divorce his wife?
JESUS: What did Moses command you?
PHARISEE 2: Moses allowed a husband to write a divorce notice and send his wife away.
JESUS: Because of your hard-heartedness, Moses wrote this law for you. But from the beginning of creation, “God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. They are no longer two but one. Let no one separate what God has joined.”
NARRATOR: Back in the house later, Jesus’ disciples asked him about this matter.
JESUS: A man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against his wife. In the same way, a woman who divorces her husband and marries another man commits adultery.
Mark 10.2-12
