Questions on Divorce
Opponents question Jesus about divorce to trap him, but he uses the issue to teach the higher ways of the Kingdom of God . In Mark and Matthew , Jesus is confronted by opponents with questions about divorce. However, this is intended to trap him with his own words. They are not soliciting an all-encompassing ruling on divorce from him. In Mark , the incident is another in a series of confrontations between Jesus and the religious establishment linked to the Temple.
