13 Then some little children were brought to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked those who brought[a] them. 14 Jesus, however, said, “Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom from[b] heaven belongs to people like these.” 15 When he had laid his hands on them, he went on from there.

Jesus Blesses the Little Children(A)
13 Some people[a] were bringing little children to Jesus[b] to have him touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought[c] them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he became furious and told them, “Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of God belongs to people like these. 15 I tell all of you[d] with certainty, whoever doesn’t receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.” 16 Then after he had hugged the children,[e] he tenderly blessed them as he laid his hands on them.
