‏ Mark 10:16

v. 16: Jesus took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them, and blessed them. This act of love fulfilled the prophecy, He shall gather the lambs in his arms (Isaiah 40:11 a). Jesus not only gave the blessing the parents asked for but showed even greater care by holding the children close. This reminds us that Jesus welcomes all who come to him with faith, no matter how small or weak they may seem (Mark 10:16 b).
