so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What, therefore, God joined together, let not man put asunder." They say to Him, "Why, then, did Moses command to give her a bill of divorcement, and to put her away?" He saith to them, "Moses, in view of the hardness of your heart, permitted you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it has not been so. And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery." The disciples say to Him, "If the case of the man is so with his wife, it is not expedient to marry." But He said to them, "Not all can receive this saying, but those to whom it has been given; for there are eunuchs who were so born from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it."

But Jesus said to them, "Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of the creation, 'Male and female made He them.' For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, [and shall cleave to his wife], and the two shall become one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh. What, therefore, God joined together, let not man put asunder." And in the house the disciples asked Him again concerning this.
