Matthew 19:13-15

MSG

NIV

13 One day children were brought to Jesus in the hope that he would lay hands on them and pray over them. The disciples shooed them off.
13 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Jesus intervened: "Let the children alone, don't prevent them from coming to me. God's kingdom is made up of people like these."
14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
15 After laying hands on them, he left.
15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
