9 I say therefore unto you, (A)that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be [a]for whoredom, and marry another, commiteth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her which is divorced, doth commit adultery.
10 Then said his disciples to him, If the [b]matter be so between man and wife, it is not good to marry.
11 [c]But he said unto them, All men cannot [d]receive this thing, save they to whom it is given.
