"Teacher, Moses gave us a law that if a man's brother died leaving a wife but no child, the man must marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.

One brother will turn another over to death, and a father his child, and children will take a stand against their parents and have them put to death.

Then He took a little child and had him stand in the midst of them; then He took him in His arms, and said to them,

"Whoever, as a disciple of mine, welcomes one little child like this, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me, welcomes not merely me but Him who sent me."

I solemnly say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God as a little child does, will never get into it at all."

But he said to Him, "Teacher, I have kept all these commandments ever since I was a child."

There were once seven brothers. The eldest married a wife and on dying left no child,

and the second married her and died leaving no child; and so did the third.

And not one of the seven left a child. At last the woman died too.
