101 And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been accustomed, again he was teaching them. 2 And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him, 3 and he answering said to them, 'What did Moses command you?' 4 and they said, 'Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce, and to put away.' 5 And Jesus answering said to them, 'For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command, 6 but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female God did make them; 7 on this account shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, 8 and they shall be—the two—for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh; 9 what therefore God did join together, let not man put asunder.' 10 And in the house again his disciples of the same thing questioned him, 11 and he saith to them, 'Whoever may put away his wife, and may marry another, doth commit adultery against her; 12 and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to another, she committeth adultery.'
13 And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them, 14 and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, 'Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God; 15 verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child—he may not enter into it;' 16 and having taken them in his arms, having put 'his' hands upon them, he was blessing them.

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.
Commentary on Mark 10:13-16
(Read Mark 10:13-16)
Some parents or nurses brought little children to Christ, that he should touch them, in token of his blessing them. It does not appear that they needed bodily cures, nor were they capable of being taught: but those who had the care of them believed that Christ's blessing would do their souls good; therefore they brought them to him. Jesus ordered that they should be brought to him, and that nothing should be said or done to hinder it. Children should be directed to the Saviour as soon as they are able to understand his words. Also, we must receive the kingdom of God as little children; we must stand affected to Christ and his grace, as little children to their parents, nurses, and teachers.
