Mentioned by Christ
Matthew 19:12 "For there are eunuchs, who were born so from
their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by
men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for
the kingdom of heaven. He that can take it, let him take it."
Recommended by St. Paul
1 Corinthians 7:32-33 "He that is without a wife, is solicitous
for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please God.
But he that is with a wife, is solicitous for the things of the
world, how he may please his wife: and he is divided."
