Now while the Pharisees were assembled together, Jesus asked them this question,

And people from all the nations will be assembled in front of Him and He will separate them from one another, like a shepherd separating his sheep from the goats.

Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus to Pilate's headquarters and assembled the entire company [i.e., about men] in front of Him.

Whoever can accept such an arrangement [i.e., of not marrying], should do so."
