It happened when Jesus
had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the
borders of Judea beyond the Jordan. Great multitudes followed him,
and he healed them there. Pharisees came to him, testing
him, and saying, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any
reason?"
He answered, "Haven't you read that he who made them from the beginning
made them male and female, and said, 'For this cause a man
shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two
shall become one flesh?' So that they are no more two, but
one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don't let man tear
apart." They asked him,
"Why then did Moses command us to give her a bill of divorce, and
divorce her?"
He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you
to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so. I tell you that whoever divorces
his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits
adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits
adultery." His disciples said to
him, "If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not
expedient to marry."
But he said to them,
"Not all men can receive this saying, but those to
whom it is given. For
there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb, and
there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who
made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven's sake. He who is able
to receive it, let him receive it."
