Matins Gospel
Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Mark the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Mark 10 : 1 - 12
Chapter 10
| 1 | Then He arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes gathered to Him again, and as He was accustomed, He taught them again.
|
| 2 | The Pharisees came and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" testing Him.
|
| 3 | And He answered and said to them, "What did Moses command you?"
|
| 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."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
