What Does Mark 10:6 Mean?
To answer a question about ending marriage, Jesus goes to its origin, quoting Genesis: God made them male and female. Before there was any provision for failure, there was a design, and the design is God's own work.
Marriage is not first a human arrangement to be regulated but a divine gift to be received. Jesus treats the words of Genesis as carrying full authority for the question at hand. What God built into creation from the beginning stands deeper than any later concession.
