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 sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

ગુજરાતીમાથ્થી ૧૯:૧૨
કેમ કે કેટલાક નપુંશક છે કે જેઓ પોતાની માતાઓથી જ એવા જન્મેલાં છે. કેટલાક એવા છે કે જેઓને માણસોએ નપુંશક બનાવ્યા છે; વળી કેટલાક એવા છે કે જેઓએ સ્વર્ગના રાજ્યને લીધે પોતાની જાતને જ નપુંશક તરીકે કર્યા છે. જે સ્વીકારી શકે છે તે આ વાત સ્વીકારે.”
हिन्दीमत्ती १९:१२
क्योंकि कुछ नपुंसक ऐसे हैं जो माता के गर्भ ही से ऐसे जन्मे; और कुछ नपुंसक ऐसे हैं, जिन्हें मनुष्य ने नपुंसक बनाया: और कुछ नपुंसक ऐसे हैं, जिन्होंने स्वर्ग के राज्य के लिये अपने आपको नपुंसक बनाया है, जो इसको ग्रहण कर सकता है, वह ग्रहण करे।”

In context

10His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”

11But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.

12For 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 sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

13Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

14But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
