Matthew 19:4-16

4And he answeredG611 and saidG3004, Have ye not readG314, that he who madeG4160 them from the beginning madeG4160 them maleG730 and femaleG2338, 5and saidG3004, For this cause shall a manG444 leaveG2641 his fatherG3962 and motherG3384, and shall cleave to his wifeG1135; and the twoG1417 shall become oneG1520 fleshG4561? 6So that they areG1510 no more twoG1417, but oneG1520 fleshG4561. What thereforeG3767 GodG2316 hath joined togetherG4801, let not manG444 put asunder. 7They sayG3004 unto him, WhyG5101 then did MosesG3475 commandG1781 to giveG1325 a bill of divorcement, and to put her awayG630? 8He saith unto them, MosesG3475 for your hardnessG4641 of heartG4641 suffered you to put awayG630 your wivesG1135: but from the beginning it hath not been soG3779. 9And I sayG3004 unto you, Whosoever shall put awayG630 his wifeG1135, except for fornication, and shall marryG1060 another, committeth adulteryG3429: and he that marrieth her when she is put awayG630 committeth adulteryG3429. 10The disciplesG3101 sayG3004 unto him, If the case of the manG444 isG1510 soG3779 with his wifeG1135, it isG1510 not expedient to marryG1060. 11But he saidG3004 unto them, Not all men can receive this sayingG3004, but they to whom it is givenG1325. 12For there areG1510 eunuchsG2135, that wereG1510 so bornG1080 from their mother’sG3384 wombG2836: and there areG1510 eunuchsG2135, that wereG1510 made eunuchsG2135 by menG444: and there areG1510 eunuchsG2135, that made themselves eunuchsG2135 for the kingdomG932 of heaven’s sakeG1223. He that isG1510 ableG1410 to receive it, let him receive it.

13Then were there broughtG4374 unto him little childrenG3813, that he should lay his handsG5495 on them, and prayG4336: and the disciplesG3101 rebukedG2008 them. 14But JesusG2424 saidG3004, Suffer the little childrenG3813, and forbidG2967 them not, to comeG2064 unto me: for to suchG5108 belongeth the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. 15And he laidG2007 his handsG5495 on them, and departedG4198 thence.

16And beholdG2400, oneG1520 cameG4334 to him and saidG3004, TeacherG1320, what goodG18 thingG18 shall I do, that I may have eternalG166 lifeG2222?
