Exegesis
The second employs the passive eunouchisthēsan hupo tōn anthrōpōn {εὐνουχίσθησαν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων | eu-nou-khís-thē-san hy-pó tōn an-thrṓ-pōn} to indicate human agency.
In context — Matthew 19:12
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 sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to accept this accept it.
