15
People were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciples saw it, they sternly ordered them not to do it.
16
But Jesus called for them and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
17
Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it."
