Jesus and Little Children

10:13 Now18 people were bringing little children to him for him to touch,19 but the disciples scolded those who brought them.20 10:14 But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.21 10:15 I tell you the truth,22 whoever does not receive23 the kingdom of God like a child24 will never25 enter it.” 10:16 After he took the children in his arms, he placed his hands on them and blessed them.
