1.
(Then)The Pharisees approached him, tempting him and saying. “Is it lawful for someone to dismiss his wife for any cause? And he answering said. "Did you not read that the one who created them made them male and female from the beginning?" He said “Because of this a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife and the two will become one flesh so that they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has yoked together, let man not separate." They say to him. “Why then did Moses allow someone to give a document of divorce and to dismiss their wife?” He says to them. "Moses did so because of your

hardness of
heart. But from the beginning it has not been so. I say to you that whoever dismisses his wife except for fornication and marries another commits adultery." The disciples say to him. “If such is the situation between a man and his wife it is not expedient to marry.” And he said to them. "Not all people grasp this saying. But to those to whom it has been given. For there are some eunuchs who are born like this from their mother’s womb. And there are eunuchs who were made so by men. And there are eunuchs who made themselves so on account of the kingdom of the heavens. The one who is able to grasp this let such a one do so."
