Mark 10:14

Little Children Brought To Jesus

¹³ Then some [parents] were bringing [their] little children to Jesus so He could touch them [i.e., to bestow a blessing on them], but His disciples spoke harshly to these parents [for doing this]. ¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, He was moved with [righteous] indignation, and said to them, "Allow these little children to come to me and stop trying to prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such [humble ones. See Matt. 18:4]. ¹⁵ Truly I tell you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God as a little child does, that person will by no means enter it."
