13 People were bringing little children to Jesus. They wanted him to touch them. But the disciples told the people to stop.
14
When Jesus saw this, he was angry. He said to his disciples, "Let the little children come to me. Don't keep them away. God's kingdom belongs to people like them.
15
What I'm about to tell you is true. Anyone who will not receive God's kingdom like a little child will never enter it."
16
Then he took the children in his arms. He put his hands on them and blessed them.
