Matteo 19:11 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 19:11

But he said unto them
With respect to the inference or conclusion, the disciples formed from what he had asserted:

all men cannot receive this saying;
of their's, that it is not good to marry, but it is more proper and expedient to live a single life! every man, as the Syriac version renders it, is not (hl qpo) , "sufficient", or "fit", for this thing; everyone has not the gift of continency, and indeed very few; and therefore it is expedient for such to marry; for what the disciples said, though it might be true in part, yet not in the whole; and though the saying might be proper and pertinent enough to some persons, yet not to all, and indeed to none,

save they to whom it is given;
to receive such a saying, to live unmarried with content, having the gift of chastity; for this is not of nature, but of grace: it is the gift of God.

12 Poiché vi son degli eunuchi, i quali son nati così dal seno della madre; vi son degli eunuchi, i quali sono stati fatti tali dagli uomini, e vi sono degli eunuchi, i quali si son fatti eunuchi da sé a cagion del regno de’ cieli. Chi è in grado di farlo lo faccia.
13 Allora gli furono presentati dei bambini perché imponesse loro le mani e pregasse; ma i discepoli sgridarono coloro che glieli presentavano.
