11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
11 He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
11 And he said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her,
11 Jesus gave it to them straight: "A man who divorces his wife so he can marry someone else commits adultery against her.
11 So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
11 He told them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 10:11
Commentary on Mark 10:1-12
(Read Mark 10:1-12)
Wherever Jesus was, the people flocked after him in crowds, and he taught them. Preaching was Christ's constant practice. He here shows that the reason why Moses' law allowed divorce, was such that they ought not to use the permission; it was only for the hardness of their hearts. God himself joined man and wife together; he has fitted them to be comforts and helps for each other. The bond which God has tied, is not to be lightly untied. Let those who are for putting away their wives consider what would become of themselves, if God should deal with them in like manner.
