Matthew 19:3-20

VIN(i) 3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" 4 "Have not you read," replied Jesus, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." 7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses order a man to give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?” 8 He said to them, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives, on account of the hardness of your hearts, but it was not so from the beginning. 9 I tell you that whoever divorces his wife on any ground but her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery." 10 His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.” 11 But he said to them, "Not everyone can accept this saying but those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.” 13 Then the little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them; and the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15 When he had laid his hands on them, he went on from there. 16 And a man came up to Jesus, and said: "Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain Immortal life?" 17 “Why do you ask Me about what is good?” Jesus replied, “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” 18 “Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus answered, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, 19 honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’” 20 “All these I have kept,” said the young man. “What do I still lack?”
