  **Show the text**

  1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.

  2 For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

  3 Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.

  4 Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.

  5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

  6 And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.

  7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;

  8 but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

  9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.

  10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

- Gospel

  Mark 10:2–12

  **Show the text**

  2 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

  3 He answered, “What did Moses command you?”

  4 They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”

  5 But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

  6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.

  7 For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,

  8 and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

  9 What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

  10 In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.

  11 He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.

  12 If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery.”
