Little Children Brought to Jesus
15 Now they were bringing even their[a] babies to him so that he could touch them. But when[b] the disciples saw it,[c] they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called them to himself, saying, “Allow the children to come to me, and do not forbid them, for to such belongs[d] the kingdom of God. 17 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it.”
