Matthew 19:11-13

Complete Jewish Bible

¹¹ He said to them, “Not everyone grasps this teaching, only those for whom it is meant. ¹² For there are different reasons why men do not marry — some because they were born without the desire, some because they have been castrated, and some because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever can grasp this, let him do so.”

¹³ Then children were brought to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray for them, but the talmidim rebuked the people bringing them.
