For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Some men, it is true, have from birth been disabled for marriage, while others have been disabled by their fellow men, and others again have disabled themselves for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him accept it who can.”

denn es gibt Verschnittene, die von Mutterleibe also geboren sind; und es gibt Verschnittene, die von den Menschen verschnitten worden sind; und es gibt Verschnittene, die sich selbst verschnitten haben um des Reiches der Himmel willen. Wer es zu fassen vermag, der fasse es.

Porque hay eunucos que nacieron así del vientre de su madre; y hay eunucos, que son hechos eunucos por los hombres; y hay eunucos que se hicieron á sí mismos eunucos por causa del reino de los cielos; el que pueda ser capaz de eso, séalo.

Pois há castrados que nasceram assim do ventre da mãe; e há castrados que foram castrados pelos homens; e há castrados que castraram a si mesmos por causa do Reino dos céus. Quem pode receber isto ,receba.

Pois há eunucos que são nascidos assim do útero de suas mães. E há eunucos que são feitos eunucos pelos homens. E há eunucos que fizeram a si mesmos eunucos por causa do Reino dos Céus. Aquele que está apto para receber esse ensino receba-o".
