Matthew 19:10–18

12For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”↗
13Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.↗
14But Jesus said,“Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”↗
15He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.↗
16Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”↗
17He said to him,“Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”↗
18He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said,“‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’↗
