The bible reading today is in Matthew 19 and Mark 10.
In these two chapters, Jesus crosses from Perea back into Judea. In Jericho, he teaches God’s very words on marriage, divorce, riches, and service. But he also tells his disciples what awaits him in Jerusalem, without one fear or one hesitation.
Even after three years of powerful ministry of love and sound teaching and many signs and wonders accomplished in fulfillment of messianic prophecy, Pharisees took turns to dog his steps and craft questions intended to make what he has said and done look like opposition to the law.
“And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” He answered them, “What did Moses command you?” They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and to send her away.”
