Matthew 19:10 Douay-Rheims

His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.

John Chrysostom (attributed)

Patristic

And the Lord said not, It is good, but rather assented that it is not good. However, He considered the weakness of the flesh; But he said unto them, All cannot receive this saying; that is, All are not able to do this.
