Shifting to Matthew 10:10-12, Jesus responds to His disciples’ astonishment at His teaching on divorce by presenting singleness as a sacred calling. He affirms that while marriage is honorable, singleness, embraced for the sake of the kingdom, can be a chosen path to wholehearted devotion to God. This juxtaposition highlights Jesus’ acknowledgment of the diverse expressions of human relationships and the significance of each individual’s unique journey in fulfilling God’s purposes.
