Matt.19.7
They shot back in rebuttal, "If that's so, why did Moses give instructions for divorce papers and divorce procedures?"
Matt.19.7
"Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
Matt.19.7
They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?"
Matt.19.7
"Then why did Moses say a man could merely write an official letter of divorce and send her away?" they asked.
Matt.19.8
He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Matt.19.8
Jesus said, "Moses provided for divorce as a concession to your hardheartedness, but it is not part of God's original plan.

Matt.19.11
But He said to them, "All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given:

Matt.19.12
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Matt.19.12
Some, from birth seemingly, never give marriage a thought. Others never get asked--or accepted. And some decide not to get married for kingdom reasons. But if you're capable of growing into the largeness of marriage, do it."
Matt.19.12
For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
Matt.19.12
For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it."
Matt.19.12
Some are born as eunuchs, some have been made that way by others, and some choose not to marry for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Let anyone who can, accept this statement."

Matt.19.14
But Jesus intervened: "Let the children alone, don't prevent them from coming to me. God's kingdom is made up of people like these."
Matt.19.14
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

Matt.19.17
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Matt.19.17
Jesus said, "Why do you question me about what's good? God is the One who is good. If you want to enter the life of God, just do what he tells you."
Matt.19.17
"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments."
Matt.19.17
So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

"Honor your father and your mother,' and, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."'
