Mark 10:4

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

Key Reflection

In this exchange, Jesus challenges the Pharisees to reflect on their own traditions by asking what Moses commanded, prompting them to consider the true spirit behind the law rather than just its letter. This question lays the groundwork for Jesus' subsequent teaching about marriage and the prioritization of spiritual over legalistic interpretations.
