9`And I say to you, that, whoever may put away his wife, if not for whoredom, and may marry another, doth commit adultery; and he who did marry her that hath been put away, doth commit adultery.`
10His disciples say to him, `If the case of the man with the woman is so, it is not good to marry.`
11And he said to them, `All do not receive this word, but those to whom it hath been given;
12for there are eunuchs who from the mother`s womb were so born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the reign of the heavens: he who is able to receive [it] -- let him receive.`
13Then were brought near to him children that he might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them.
14But Jesus said, `Suffer the children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the reign of the heavens;`
15and having laid on them [his] hands, he departed thence.
