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

¹³ Then were brought to Him little children, that He might put His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But Jesus said, "Permit the little children??nd do not forbid them??o come to Me; for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." ¹⁵ And, having laid His hands on them, He departed thence.

¹³ And they were bringing little children to Him, that He might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them. ¹⁴ But Jesus, seeing it, was much displeased, and said to them, "Permit the little children to come to Me; forbid them not; for to such belongs the Kingdom of God. ¹⁵ Verily I say to you, whosoever does not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, will in no wise enter therein." ¹⁶ And, taking them in His arms, He was blessing them, placing His hands upon them.

¹⁵ And they were bringing to Him their babes, also, that He might touch them; but the disciples, seeing it, were rebuking them. ¹⁶ But Jesus called them to Him, saying, "Suffer the little children to come to Me, and forbid them not; for to such belongs the Kingdom of God. ¹⁷ Verily I say to you, whosoever does not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter therein."
