Matthew 19:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ The followers said to him, “If that is the only reason a man can divorce his wife, then it is better not to marry.”

¹¹ Jesus answered, “Not everyone can accept this truth about marriage. But God has made some able to accept it. ¹² There are different reasons why some men cannot marry. Some men were born without the ability to become fathers. Others were made that way later in life by other people. And other men have given up marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. But the person who can marry should accept this teaching about marriage.”^[a]
