Matthew 19:4-16

4And He answeredG611 and saidG3004, “Have you not readG314 1that He who createdG2936 them from the beginningG746 madeG4160 them maleG733 and femaleG2338, 5and saidG3004, ‘2For thisG3778 reasonG1752 a manG444 shall leaveG2641 his fatherG3962 and his motherG3384 and be joinedG2853 to his wifeG1135, and 3the twoG1417 shall becomeG1510G1519 oneG1520 fleshG4561’? 6SoG5620 they are noG3765 longerG3765 twoG1417, but oneG1520 fleshG4561. ThereforeG3767, whatG3739 GodG2316 has joinedG4801 togetherG4801, noG3361 personG444 is to separateG5563.” 7They saidG3004 to Him, “4WhyG5101, thenG3767, did MosesG3475 commandG1781 to giveG1325 her a certificateG975 of divorceG647 and sendG630 her awayG630?” 8He saidG3004 to them, “BecauseG4314 of your hardnessG4641 ofG4641 heartG4641 MosesG3475 permittedG2010 you to 5divorceG630 your wivesG1135; but from the beginningG746 it has not beenG1096 thisG3779 wayG3779. 9And I sayG3004 to you, 6whoeverG3739G302 7divorcesG630 his wifeG1135, exceptG3361 for sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, and marriesG1060 anotherG243 womanG243 8commitsG3429 adulteryG34299.”

10The disciplesG3101 saidG3004 to Him, “IfG1487 the relationshipG156 of the manG444 with his wifeG1135 is likeG3779 thisG3779, it isG4851 betterG4851 not to marryG1060.” 11But He saidG3004 to them, “10Not allG3956 menG3956 can acceptG5562 thisG3778 statementG3056, but 11only those to whomG3739 it has been givenG1325. 12For there are eunuchsG2135 whoG3748 were bornG1080 that wayG3779 from their mother’sG3384 wombG2836; and there are eunuchsG2135 whoG3748 were madeG2134 eunuchsG2134 by peopleG444; and there are also eunuchsG2135 whoG3748 madeG2134 themselvesG1438 eunuchsG2134 for the sakeG1223 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772. The one who is ableG1410 to acceptG5562 this, let him acceptG5562 it.”

1312ThenG5119 some childrenG3813 were broughtG4374 to Him soG2443 thatG2443 He would layG2007 His handsG5495 onG2007 them and prayG4336; and the disciplesG3101 rebukedG2008 them. 14But JesusG2424 saidG3004, “1314LeaveG863 the childrenG3813 aloneG863, and do not 15forbidG2967 them to comeG2064 to Me; for 16the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 belongsG1510 to suchG5108 asG5108 theseG5108.” 15After layingG2007 His handsG5495 onG2007 them, He departedG4198 fromG1564 thereG1564.

1617And someoneG1520 cameG4334 to Him and saidG3004, “TeacherG1320, whatG5101 goodG18 thingG18 shall I doG4160 soG2443 thatG2443 I may obtainG2192 18eternalG166 lifeG2222?”
