Joshua teaches about marriage and divorce
1 The
Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful
for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
2 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
3 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
4 And Joshua answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept : but from the beginning it was not so. and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
8 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter: His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
9 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
10 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.
