Jesus Blesses Little Children

13 ^aAnd they were bringing children to Him so that He would touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Allow the children to come to Me; do not ^{▼▼Or prevent}forbid them, ^cfor the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I say to you, ^dwhoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.” 16 And He ^etook them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.
