Mark 10:13-16

Jesus Blesses Little Children

13 ¹And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.

14 But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; ²for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

15 "Truly I say to you, ³whoever * does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."

16 And He ⁴took them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His hands on them.
