Matthew:19:1-12
bbe@Matthew:19:1 @And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.
bbe@Matthew:19:2 @And a great number went after him; and he made them well there.
bbe@Matthew:19:3 @And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
bbe@Matthew:19:4 @And he said in answer, Have you not seen in the Writings, that he who made them at the first made them male and female, and said,
bbe@Matthew:19:5 @For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?
bbe@Matthew:19:6 @So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man.
bbe@Matthew:19:7 @They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?
bbe@Matthew:19:8 @He says to them, Moses, because of your hard hearts, let you put away your wives: but it has not been so from the first.
bbe@Matthew:19:9 @And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.
bbe@Matthew:19:10 @The disciples say to him, If this is the position of a man in relation to his wife, it is better not to be married
bbe@Matthew:19:11 @But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given.
bbe@Matthew:19:12 @For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it.
