Matthew:19:1-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass (
5633 ),
that when Jesus had finished (
5656 )
these sayings ,
he departed (
5656 )
from Galilee ,
and came (
5627 )
into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan ;
*
And great multitudes followed (
5656 )
him ;
and he healed (
5656 )
them there .
*
The Pharisees also came (
5656 )
unto him ,
tempting (
5723 )
him ,
and saying (
5723 )
unto him ,
Is it lawful (
5748 )
for a man to put away (
5658 )
his wife for every cause ?
*
And he answered (
5679 )
and said (
5627 )
unto them ,
Have ye not read (
5627 ),
that he which made (
5660 )
them at the beginning made (
5656 )
them male and female ,
*
And said (
5627 ),
For this cause shall a man leave (
5692 )
father and mother ,
and shall cleave (
5701 )
to his wife :
and they twain shall be (
5704 )
one flesh ?
*
Wherefore they are (
5748 )
no more twain ,
but one flesh .
What therefore God hath joined together (
5656 ),
let not man put asunder (
5720 ).
*
They say (
5719 )
unto him ,
Why did Moses then command (
5662 )
to give (
5629 )
a writing of divorcement ,
and to put her away (
5658 )?
*
He saith (
5719 )
unto them ,
Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered (
5656 )
you to put away (
5658 )
your wives :
but from the beginning it was (
5754 )
not so .
*
And I say (
5719 )
unto you ,
Whosoever shall put away (
5661 )
his wife ,
except it be for fornication ,
and shall marry (
5661 )
another ,
committeth adultery (
5736 ):
and whoso marrieth (
5660 )
her which is put away (
5772 )
doth commit adultery (
5736 ).
*
His disciples say (
5719 )
unto him ,
If the case of the man be (
5748 )
so with his wife ,
it is not good (
5719 )
to marry (
5658 ).
*
But he said (
5627 )
unto them ,
All men cannot receive (
5719 )
this saying ,
save they to whom it is given (
5769 ).
*
For there are (
5748 )
some eunuchs ,
which were so born (
5681 )
from their mothers womb :
and there are (
5748 )
some eunuchs ,
which were made eunuchs (
5656 )
of men :
and there be (
5748 )
eunuchs ,
which have made themselves eunuchs (
5656 )
for the kingdom of heavens sake .
He that is able (
5740 )
to receive (
5721 )
it ,
let him receive (
5720 )
it .
