The words of Jesus
What Did Jesus Say About Divorce?
Jesus spoke about divorce with both honesty and tenderness, taking the pain of broken covenants seriously. Here are His own words.
“What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
Jesus, in Mark 10:9, King James Version
God takes the union seriously and longs to keep it whole.
“Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.”
Jesus, in Matthew 19:8, King James Version
Divorce was a concession to human brokenness, not God's design.
“Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh.”
Jesus, in Matthew 19:6, King James Version
Marriage really unites two lives, which is why its tearing hurts so deeply.
Come to Him
Jesus meets the pain of broken marriages not with cold rules but with mercy. Whatever your story holds, He offers forgiveness, healing, and a love that never divorces you.
His words were always meant to lead you to Himself. You can begin with Jesus here, ask someone to pray with you, or read His words in the Bible.
