3 Then|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" came|strong="G4334" up|strong="G4334" to|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G3004" and|strong="G2532" tested|strong="G3985" him|strong="G3588" by|strong="G2596" asking|strong="G3004" him|strong="G3588", “Is|strong="G3588" it|strong="G2532" lawful|strong="G1832" for|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" man|strong="G3956" to|strong="G2532" divorce his|strong="G3956" wife|strong="G1135" for|strong="G2532" any|strong="G3956" reason?”

10 His|strong="G3326" disciples|strong="G3101" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" him|strong="G3588", “If|strong="G1487" such|strong="G3779" is|strong="G1510" the|strong="G3588" case|strong="G3588" of|strong="G3101" a|strong="G1510" man|strong="G3756" with|strong="G3326" his|strong="G3326" wife|strong="G1135", it|strong="G1487" is|strong="G1510" better|strong="G4851" not|strong="G3756" to|strong="G3004" marry|strong="G1060".”

13 Then|strong="G2532" little children|strong="G3813" were|strong="G3588" brought|strong="G4374" to|strong="G2443" Jesus|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" he|strong="G2532" might|strong="G2532" lay|strong="G2007" his|strong="G2007" hands|strong="G5495" on|strong="G5495" them|strong="G3588" and|strong="G2532" pray|strong="G4336", but|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3101" rebuked|strong="G2008" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" brought|strong="G4374" them|strong="G3588".
