Let the Children Come to Me

^13 (A)And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples ^(B)rebuked them. ¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, ^(C)“Let the children come to me; ^(D)do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

¹⁹ For ^(A)your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you ^(B)to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.
