CONTEXT:
In Mk 10:5-9, Jesus spoke to the Jewish context of very early Christianity, where divorce was possible only for the husband. There were exceptions, but these were far too few to influence the moral climate. Jesus' radical stance could be seen as defending the position of wives, who were quite vulnerable and could be dismissed for little or no reason at all. The broader intention, however, was
to strengthen the marriage institution among the disciples and align social realities with God's design in creating man and woman. As such, Jesus' prophetic message was an integral part of his proclamation of the kingdom of God and the need to repent and believe the gospel (1:14-15).
