Exegesis
Within that clause, the dative andri {ἀνδρὶ | an-dri} ‘for a man’ marks the beneficiary, the accusative gynaika {γυναῖκα | gy-naî-ka} ‘a wife’ names the object, and the aorist infinitive apolūsai {ἀπολῦσαι | a-po-lû-sai} ‘to divorce’ expresses the action, with autēn {αὐτήν | au-tḗn} ‘her’ as its object. This construction highlights both the legal question of divorce and the Pharisees’ intent to entangle Jesus in a halakhic dilemma.
In context — Mark 10:2
And the Pharisees came and questioned Jesus whether it is permitted for a man to divorce a wife, testing Him.
