Matthew 19:12 in Context — Matthew 19

10 Os seus discípulos lhe disseram: Se assim é a condição do homem com a mulher, não convém se casar.

11 Porém ele lhes disse: Nem todos recebem esta palavra, a não ser aqueles a quem é dado;

12 Pois há castrados que nasceram assim do ventre da mãe; e há castrados que foram castrados pelos homens; e há castrados que castraram a si mesmos por causa do Reino dos céus. Quem pode receber [isto] ,receba.

13 Então lhe trouxeram crianças, para que pusesse as mãos sobre elas e orasse, mas os discípulos os repreendiam.

14 Mas Jesus disse: Deixai as crianças, e não as impeçais de vir a mim, porque delas é o Reino dos céus.
