5. and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
6. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man put asunder.”
7. They said to Him, “Then why did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to send her away?”
8. He said to them, “Moses, for the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
9. But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery. And whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
10. His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is not good to marry.”
11. But He said to them, “Not all men can receive this precept, but only those to whom it is given.
12. For there are some eunuchs who have been so from birth, there are some eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are some eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it.”
13. Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.
14. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them. For to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
15. He laid His hands on them and departed from there.
16. Now one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good deed shall I do to have eternal life?”
17. He replied to him, “Why do you call Me good? There is One who is good. But if you would enter life, keep the commandments.”
18. He said to Him, “Which ones?”Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
19. Honor your father and your mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
