“Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.”
Matthew 19:11 (BSB)
Context Reading
9Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” 10His disciples said to Him, “If this is the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry.” 11“Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given. 12For there are eunuchs who were born that way; others were made that way by men; and still others live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.” 13Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. And the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
