Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Mark 10
⁴ They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her."
⁵ And Jesus answered and said to them, "Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, God ’made them male and female.’
⁷ ’For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
⁸ and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.
⁹ Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
¹⁰ In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter.
¹¹ So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
¹² And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
¹³ Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.
