her `a written notice of divorce,' and so put her away?"
019:008 "Moses," He replied, "in consideration of the hardness of your
nature permitted you to put away your wives, but it has not
been so from the beginning.
019:009 And I tell you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except
her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."
019:010 "If this is the case with a man in relation to his wife,"
said the disciples to Him, "it is better not to marry."
019:011 "It is not every man," He replied, "who can receive this teaching,
but only those on whom the grace has been bestowed.
019:012 There are men who from their birth have been disabled from marriage,
others who have been so disabled by men, and others who have
disabled themselves for the sake of the Kingdom of the Heavens.
He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
019:013 Then young children were brought to Him for Him to put His
hands on them and pray; but the disciples interfered.
019:014 Jesus however said, "Let the little children come to me,
and do not hinder them; for it is to those who are childlike
that the Kingdom of the Heavens belongs."
019:015 So He laid His hands upon them and went away.
019:016 "Teacher," said one man, coming up to Him, "what that is good
shall I do in order to win the Life of the Ages?"
019:017 "Why do you ask me," He replied, "about what is good?
There is only One who is truly good. But if you desire
to enter into Life, keep the Commandments."
019:018 "Which Commandments?" he asked. Jesus answered, "`Thou shalt
not kill;' `Thou shalt not commit adultery;' `Thou shalt not steal;'
`Thou shalt not lie in giving evidence;'
019:019 `Honour thy father and thy mother'; and `Thou shalt love thy
fellow man as much as thyself.'"
