|The Byzantine manuscripts have "made" rather than "created." The quote is from Genesis 1, but though the [[Septuagint]] renders the original verb "made," the [[Masoretic Text]] has "created."

|Again, Matthew was speaking of ancient Jewish betrothal customs, under which an engaged couple were considered as good as married, unless the engaged girl had been found to have behaved improperly before the wedding. Luke, writing as he did to Gentiles, would not need to make any such distinction.

|A eunuch is literally one who has been castrated. Some men had this surgery done on them to make them eligible to serve in high-ranking households. Jesus does not ask that of men, but He figuratively suggests that a man might give up the privilege of marriage and intimacy to serve the Lord full-time.
