emtv - Matthew:19:1-12

emtv@Matthew:19:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, that He with from Galilee and went to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

emtv@Matthew:19:2 @ And great crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.

emtv@Matthew:19:3 @ The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?"

emtv@Matthew:19:4 @ And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,'

emtv@Matthew:19:5 @ and He said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?

emtv@Matthew:19:6 @ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."

emtv@Matthew:19:7 @ They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"

emtv@Matthew:19:8 @ He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been thus.

emtv@Matthew:19:9 @ And I say to you, that whoever shall put away his wife, except [it be ]for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marrying a divorcee commits adultery."

emtv@Matthew:19:10 @ His disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry."

emtv@Matthew:19:11 @ But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying, but [it is for those] to whom it has been given:

emtv@Matthew:19:12 @ For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept [this], let him accept [it]."
