5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall join to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?

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 eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s (God’s) sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
13 Then were there brought to him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.
