Christ was sympathetic to those who had been born deformed or who were castrated for whatever foul reasons.This goes back to the OT law that men born or injured with certain conditions could not hold the priesthood. Sometimes, like lepers and prostitutes, the official religion was unaccepting of them. The social outcasts were the people he went among and preached to.

Thanks for that Scriptural, simple explanation of something Rome has erected a false facade of ritual around, wrongly elevating celibacy above marriage and family.
