Mark 10:6

Read in context

Mark 10:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 They answered, “Moses permitted a man to write his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away.”

5 But Jesus told them, “Moses wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.

6 However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’

7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,

8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
