13And they were bringing children to him so that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

14But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

15Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will certainly not enter it.

16And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
