Mark 10:13-16

Blessing the Children

13 Some people were bringing little children to Him so He might touch them, but His disciples rebuked them.
14 When Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me. Don't stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
15 I assure you: Whoever does not welcome [a] the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
16 After taking them in His arms, He laid His hands on them and blessed them.
