NASB | Matthew 19:12 "For 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 also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 19:12 "For there are eunuchs who have been born that way from their mother's womb [making them incapable of consummating a marriage]; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men [for royal service]; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves so for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it." |
Bible Question (short): Eunuchs incapable of marriage? |
Question (full): By man - surgical intervention of health issue - does that make a difference? I know he could adopt to have a family, but the verse addresses mariage, not kids. He is unmarried; must he remain single to obey this verse? Are there supporting verses? |
