When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man: "Child, your sins are forgiven."

When I was a child, I talked as a child, I felt as a child, I reasoned as a child; now that I am a man, I have done with childish ways.

"Teacher, in our Scriptures Moses decreed that, should a man's brother die, leaving a widow but no child, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.

And there some people brought to him a paralyzed man on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man: "Courage, Child! Your sins are forgiven."

Therefore, any one who will humble himself like this child-- that man shall be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

A woman in labor is in pain because her time has come; but no sooner is the child born, than she forgets her trouble in her joy that a man has been born into the world.

I tell you, unless a man receives the Kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all."

I tell you, unless a man receives the Kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all."

And just then a man in the crowd shouted out: "Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;

And then said to them: "Any one who, for the sake of my Name, welcomes even this little child is welcoming me; and any one who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his Messenger. For whoever is lowliest among you all--that man is great."

The woman gave birth to a son, a male child, who is destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod; and her child was at once caught up to God upon his throne.

And they made signs to the child's father, to find out what he wished the child to be called.

When the period of purification of mother and child, enjoined by the Law of Moses, came to an end, his parents took the child up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord,

Simeon gave them his blessing, and said to Mary, the child's mother: "This child is appointed to be the cause of the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign much spoken against--

Entering the house, they saw the child with his mother, Mary, and fell at his feet and did homage to him. Then they unpacked their treasures, and offered to the child presents of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

After they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, and said: "Awake, take the child and his mother, and seek refuge in Egypt; and stay there until I bid you return, for Herod is about to search for the child, to put him to death."

"Awake, take the child and his mother, and go into the Land of Israel, for those who sought to take the child's life are dead."

Faith caused the parents of Moses to hide the child for three months after his birth, for they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they would not respect the King's order.

Scripture says that Abraham had two sons, one the child of the slave-woman and the other the child of the free woman.

But the child of the slave-woman was born in the course of nature, while the child of the free woman was born in fulfillment of a promise.

Yet at that time the child born in the course of nature persecuted the child born by the power of the Spirit; and it is the same now.

"Teacher, Moses said--'Should a man die without children, the man's brother shall become the husband of the widow, and raise a family for his brother.'

Brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child; and children will turn against their parents, and cause them to be put to death;

Brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child; and children will turn against their parents, and cause them to be put to death;

But we lived among you with the simplicity of a child; we were like a woman nursing her own children.

and you have forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as God's Children-- 'My child, think not lightly of the Lord's discipline, do not despond when he rebukes you;

It is for your discipline that you have to endure all this. God is dealing with you as his Children. For where is there a child whom his father does not discipline?

By this the Children of God are distinguished from the Children of the Devil--No one who lives unrighteously comes from God, and especially the man who does not love his Brother.
