Matthew 19:10-15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

10. The disciples said to Him, "If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry."

11. But He said to them, "Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given.

12. For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it."

13. Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

14. But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

15. After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.
