Rhyming Redsong: Matthew 19.1-12 (The Pharisees Test Jesus About Divorce)

When, Jesus saying all these things, complete,
he, Galilee, left and did then proceed,
Judea’s region, to, was his design,
and, of the Jordan, to its other side.
Large crowds, him, followed and he healed them there.
Some Pharisees, to him, came to, him, snare.
They asked, ‘Is, lawful, it, for, to, a man,
divorce his wife for any and each one,
all different reasons?” “Haven’t you, that, read,”
replying Jesus, “the Creator ‘made
(at the beginning) both them female, male,’
and said, ‘For reason, this, a man forsakes
his father, mother and he, to his wife,
united, is, the two become one flesh.
So they’re no longer two, but just one flesh.
Therefore what God together he has joined,
let no one separate.” They asked, “Why then
did Moses, to his wife, a man, command,
to give her a divorce certificate,
and her, away, send.” “Moses did permit,”
replying Jesus, “to divorce your wives,
you, ‘cause your hearts were hard. Contrariwise,
creation, from, it’s not how it was like.
I tell you that whoever would divorce his wife
‘cept, sexual, for, immorality,
and marries someone else, adultery,
commits.” Disciples, the, said to him, “If
this is the situation, them betwixt,
a husband, wife, it’s better for them to
not ever marry.” Jesus’ words ensued,
“Who can accept this word? Not everyone,
but only those to whom it has been giv’n.
For there are eunuchs who were born that way,
and there are eunuchs who, by others, they
were made that way, and some who, for the sake
of heaven’s kingdom chose to live that way,
as eunuchs. Whoe’er can incorporate
these concepts should accept these words I say.”
