He saith unto them , Moses because of the hardness of yourheartssufferedyou to put awayyourwives:butfrom the beginning it wasnotso.9And I say unto you , Whosoevershall put awayhiswife,except it be forfornication,and shall marryanother, committeth adultery : and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery .10Hisdisciplessay unto him,If the case of the manbesowith his wife, it isnotgood to marry .
11But he said unto them,All men cannotreceivethissaying,save they to whom it is given .12For there are some eunuchs,which were sobornfrom their mother'swomb:and there are some eunuchs,which were made eunuchsofmen:and there beeunuchs,which have madethemselveseunuchsfor the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
