Matthew 19:13-15 - Little Children Brought To Jesus

¹³ Then little children were brought to him that he might put his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." ¹⁵ And he laid his hands on them and went from there.

¹³ And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to me; and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. ¹⁵ Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will not enter it." ¹⁶ And he took them in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

¹⁵ Now they were also bringing infants to him that he might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. ¹⁶ But Jesus called them to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. ¹⁷ Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will not enter it."
