This follows a question from the Pharisees intended to test Him (<a href="/mark/10-2.htm">Mark 10:2</a>). Jesus often used such moments to clarify God's intentions and laws, emphasizing the importance of understanding the heart of the law rather than just its letter.Whoever divorces his wife Divorce was a common practice in Jewish society, regulated by Mosaic Law (<a href="/deuteronomy/24.htm">Deuteronomy 24:1-4</a>).
