'Children' in the Bible

"Let the children first eat all they want," He said; "it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

One day people were bringing young children to Jesus for Him to touch them, but the disciples interfered.

Jesus, however, on seeing this, was moved to indignation, and said to them, "Let the little children come to me: do not hinder them; for to those who are childlike the Kingdom of God belongs.

The disciples were amazed at His words. Jesus, however, said again, "Children, how hard a struggle is it for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God!

"In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that there is no one who has forsaken house or brothers or sisters, or mother or father, or children or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the Good News,

but will receive a hundred times as much now in this present life--houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, lands--and persecution with them--and in the coming age the Life of the Ages.

"Brother will betray brother to be killed, and fathers will betray children; and children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
