'Child' in the Bible

He goes in. "Why all this outcry and loud weeping?" He asks; "the child is asleep, not dead."

To this their reply is a scornful laugh. He, however, puts them all out, takes the child's father and mother and those He has brought with Him, and enters the room where the child lies.

So she went home, and found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

And taking a young child He made him stand in their midst, then threw His arms round him and said,

"Whoever for my sake receives one such young child as this, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not so much me as Him who sent me."

In solemn truth I tell you that no one who does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will by any possibility enter it."

"Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.'

And alas for the women who at that time are with child or have infants!
