Matthew 19:11-13

New Testament for Everyone

¹¹ “Not everyone can accept this word,” replied Jesus; “only the people it’s given to. ¹² You see, there are some eunuchs who are that way from birth. There are some who have been made eunuchs by others. And there are some who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. If anyone can receive this, let them do so.”

¹³ Then children were brought to Jesus for him to lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples spoke sternly to them.
