Matthew 19:13

Read in context

Matthew 19:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 “Not everyone can accept this word,” He replied, “but only those to whom it has been given.

12 For 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.”

13 Then the 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.

14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

15 And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.
