This time in the Gospel of Mark, it is the Pharisees that are testing Jesus. They ask Him, “Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?” The Pharisees quoted Moses giving them the right.
Jesus turned this around and stated clearly: “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.
So they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together,
no human being must separate.”
