8 Jesus replied, "Moses allowed you to divorce your wives because your hearts are unyielding. But it wasn’t that way from the beginning.
9 I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
10 His disciples said to him, "If that’s the way things are between a man and his wife, then it’s better not to marry."
11 He replied, "Not everybody can accept this teaching, but only those who have received the ability to accept it.
12 For there are eunuchs who have been eunuchs from birth. And there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by other people. And there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of heaven. Those who can accept it should accept it."
13 Some people brought children to Jesus so that he would place his hands on them and pray. But the disciples scolded them.
14 "Allow the children to come to me," Jesus said. "Don’t forbid them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these children."
