Little Children Brought to Jesus

Do not forbid them, for to such belongs[c] the kingdom of God. 15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it.” 16 And after[d] taking them[e] into his arms, he blessed them, placing his[f] hands on them.
