Mark 10:14 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:14

But when Jesus saw it
Observed that his disciples reproved those that brought their children to, him,

he was much displeased;
with his disciples, who took too much upon them; for they ought first, to have known their master's will; whether it was his pleasure to grant the favour desired for these children, and not to have forbid them of themselves:

and said unto them;
the disciples, as the Persic version reads:

suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for
of such is the kingdom of God;
or "of them who" are, (Nylh Kya) , "as these", as the Syriac version, renders the words; or, as the Arabic, who "are like to these"; and the Persic, who are "like to these little children"; in innocence and humility; (See Gill on Matthew 19:14).

Mark 10:14 In-Context

12 And if a woman divorces her husband and marries someone else, she commits adultery.”

13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him.

14 When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.

15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”

16 Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.
