Matthew 19:12-14

New Matthew Bible

¹² Some are chaste who were so born from their mother’s womb. And others are chaste who were made so by men. And others are chaste who have made themselves chaste for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who can receive it, let him receive it.

¹³ Then young children were brought to him so that he could put his hands on them and pray. And the disciples rebuked the people. ¹⁴ But Jesus said, Allow the children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
