7. They say to him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
8. He saith to them, Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9. And I say to you, Whoever shall put away his wife, except for lewdness, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her who is put away, committeth adultery.
10. His disciples say to him, If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11. But he said to them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12. For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from their mothers womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13. Then were brought to him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
