*Question*
Matthew 19:12
Tell the meaning of last portion of
this verse
*Answer*
Jesus
proceeds to state that there were some who were able to receive that saying and
to remain in an unmarried state. Some were so born; some were made such by the
cruelty of men; and there were some who voluntarily abstained from marriage for
the kingdom of heaven’s sake - that is, that they might devote themselves
entirely to the proper business of religion. Perhaps he refers here to the
Essenes, a sect of the Jews, who held that marriage was unsuitable to their
condition; who had no children of their own, but perpetuated their sect by
adopting the poor children of others. Eunuchs were employed chiefly in
attending on the females or in the harem. They rose often to distinction, and
held important offices in the state. Hence, the word is sometimes used with
reference to such an officer of state Act_8:27.
