Matthew 19:13-15

EasyEnglish Bible

Jesus wants children to come to him

¹³ Then some people brought their little children to Jesus. They wanted him to put his hands on each child's head. They wanted him to pray for them. But the disciples told the people that they should not do that.

¹⁴ Jesus said to them, ‘Do not stop the children. Let them come to me. People must become like these children so that God can rule their lives. That is what the kingdom of heaven is like.’ ¹⁵ So Jesus put his hands on each of the children's heads and he prayed for them. After that, he went away from that place.
