* And it came to pass , when ended the Jesus the words these , he departed from the Galilee , and came into the confines of the Judea , beyond the Jordan . * And followed him crowds great ; and he healed them there . * And came to him the Pharisees , trying him , and saying to him : If it is lawful to a man to release the wife of him upon every cause ? * He and answering said to them : Not have you read , that the Creator from a beginning a male and a female he made them ? * and said : On account of this shall leave a man the father and the mother , and shall be closely united to the wife of him ; and shall be the two into flesh one . * So that no longer they are two , but flesh one . What then the God has joined together , a man not disunites . * They say to him : Why then Moses did enjoin to give a scroll of separation , and to release her ? * He says to them : That Moses for the hardness of heart of you suffered you to release the wives of you ; from a beginning but not it was so . * I say but to you , that whoever may release the wife of him , except for fornication , and may marry another , commits adultery ; and he her being released marrying , commits adultery . * They say to him the disciples of him : If thus is the case of the man with woman , not it is profitable to marry . * He but said to them : Not all admit the word this , but to whom it has been given . * There are for eunuchs , who from womb of mother were born so ; and there are eunuchs , who were made eunuchs by the men ; and there are eunuchs , who made eunuchs themselves on account of the kingdom of the heavens . He being able to admit , let him admit .
