Matthew 19:10-15

New American Standard Bible

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, “^(A)Not all men can accept this statement, but ^(B)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 people; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”

Jesus Blesses Little Children

^13 (C)Then some children were brought to Him so that He would lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But Jesus said, “^[a](D)Leave the children alone, and do not ^[b]forbid them to come to Me; for ^(E)the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” ¹⁵ After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.
