12. For there are some eunuchs who have been so from birth, there are some eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are some eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it.”
13. Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.
14. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them. For to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
15. He laid His hands on them and departed from there.
16. Now one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good deed shall I do to have eternal life?”
17. He replied to him, “Why do you call Me good? There is One who is good. But if you would enter life, keep the commandments.”
18. He said to Him, “Which ones?”Jesus said, “You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness,
19. Honor your father and your mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
20. The young man said to Him, “All these I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”
21. Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow Me.”
