2. Do some people try to trip you up in your Christian walk? Why?

Mark 10:3-9

3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away.

5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For 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 cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

3.What did Jesus ask?

4. Did they answer His question? Have you ever asked a question as part of witnessing, only to have the other person change or twist the subject? Why did they do that?

23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Mark 10:10-12

10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same [matter].

11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

10. Why did Jesus’ disciples ask the same question, again?

11. When did the public law of that day say it was okay to divorce? How about today?

12. Do you know how unbelievable this statement was? Did Jesus speak to just the generation of His hearers only?
