Mark 10:7-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
7FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER , 8AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9Therefore, what God has joined together, no person is to separate.'
10And in the house the disciples again began questioning Him about this.
11And He *said to them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;
12and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.'
13And they were bringing children to Him so that He would touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.
14But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, 'Allow the children to come to Me; do not forbid them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.'
King James Version
Chapter 10
7For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

Chapter 10
7For this reason a man will leave his father and mother 8and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
10When they were in the house again, the disciples questioned him about this matter.
11He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12Also, if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
13People were bringing little children to him in order that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.
14When Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
7‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, 8and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, 9let no one split apart what God has joined together.'
10Later, when he was alone with his disciples in the house, they brought up the subject again.
11He told them, 'Whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her.
12And if a woman divorces her husband and marries someone else, she commits adultery.'
14When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, 'Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
15I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.'
English Standard Version

7‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
10In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter.
11So He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
12And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
13Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14But 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.
15Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
