Mark 10:1-12
Jesus came into the district of Judea and across the Jordan.
Again crowds gathered around him and, as was his custom,
he again taught them.
The Pharisees approached him and asked,
“Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?”
They were testing him.
He said to them in reply, “What did Moses command you?”
They replied,
“Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce
and dismiss her.”
But Jesus told them,
“Because of the hardness of your hearts
he wrote you this commandment.
But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh .
So they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together,
no human being must separate.”
In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this.He said to them,“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Pagpapalayas ng Lalaki sa Asawang Babae
Marcos 10:1-12
Si Jesus ay umalis doon. Dumaan siya sa kabilang ibayo ng Jordan, at pumunta sa mga nasasakupan ng Judea. Muling dumating ang napakaraming tao sa kaniya at tulad ng kinaugalian niya, sila ay tinuruan niyang muli.
Ang mga Fariseo, na lumapit kay Jesus, ay nagtanong upang subukin siya: Matuwid ba sa lalaki na palayasin ang kaniyang asawa?
Sumagot si Jesus na sinasabi sa kanila: Ano ang iniutos sa inyo ni Moises?
Sumagot sila: Ipinahintulot ni Moises na sumulat ng katibayan ng paghihiwalay at palayasin siya.
Sa pagsagot ni Jesus, sinabi niya sa kanila: Dahil sa katigasan ng inyong puso sinulat niya para sa inyo ang utos na ito. Ngunit buhat pa sa pasimula ng paglalang, ginawa sila ng Diyos na lalaki at babae.
Dahil dito iiwan ng lalaki ang kaniyang ama at ina at siya ay makikipag-isa sa kaniyang asawa. Ang dalawa ay magiging isang laman kaya hindi na sila dalawa kundi isang laman. Kaya nga, ang pinagsama ng Diyos ay huwag paghiwalayin ng tao.
Sa bahay, siya ay muling tinanong ng kaniyang mga alagad patungkol sa bagay na ito. Sinabi niya sa kanila:
Ang sinumang lalaking magpalayas sa kaniyang asawa at mag-asawa ng iba ay nagkakasala ng pangangalunya laban sa kaniyang asawa. Gayundin kapag pinalayas ng babae ang kaniyang asawa at nag-asawa ng iba, siya ay nangangalunya rin.
>From the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh .So they are no longer two but one flesh.Therefore what God has joined together,no human being must separate.”“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”A priest said that whenever he officiate at the wedding of a couple, He always had the feeling that these two kind souls did not meet and know each other by chance or that fate brought them together. He always believe that God’s hand somehow allowed these two people to fall in love with each other and not with another person.He wonder how two people can fall for each other when they are so apart. Then he realize that they are indeed the best partners no matchmaker can bring together. God must have willed that they be united from the start.In his life as a priest, he always see God’s hand directing him, guiding him to end up in the priesthood and not with any of his past girlfriends. He has joined him to Him; no man can undo that. He has joined our parents together, and no man can separate them. More astounding than joining or separation is God’s hand directing our paths. Some people may call that fate or destiny or chance. He call him God!God bless us all forever!
