Matthew 19:11-13

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹¹ Jesus said, `Not everyone can agree to that. But God has chosen some not to be married.

¹² Some men cannot marry because they were born that way. Some were made that way by men. Others said, "I will not marry, for the sake of the kingdom of heaven." `Anyone who can do this, should do it.'

¹³ Then people brought children to Jesus. They wanted him to put his hands on them and ask God to bless them. The disciples tried to stop the people.
