Matthew 19:10-12

New Testament for Everyone

Marriage, celibacy and children

¹⁰ The disciples said to Jesus, “If that’s the situation of a man with his wife, it would be better not to marry!”

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.”
