MLV(i)
1 And it happened, when Jesus had completed these words, he took off from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond-that of the Jordan;
2 and large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 And the Pharisees came to him, testing him and saying to him, If it is legal to a man to divorce his wife according to every cause.
4 But he answered and said to them, Have you not read, He who made them, made them male and female from the beginning. 5 And said, Because of this, a man will be leaving his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will be jointed into one flesh. 6 So-that they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together; let man not separate.
7 They say to him, Therefore why did Moses command us to give a document of divorcement and to dismiss her?
8 He says to them, Moses permitted you to divorce your wives for your hardness of heart, but from the beginning it has not become so. 9 But I am saying to you, Whoever divorces his wife not over
10 His disciples say to him, If thus is the case of the man with his wife, it is not advantageous to marry.
11 But he said to them, Not all people will make room for this word in their hearts, but they to whom it has been given: 12 for there are eunuchs who were born so out of their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to make room in his heart
