13
And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; and the disciples rebuked them.
14
But when Jesus saw it he was indignant, and said to them, "Let the children come to me, do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
15
Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."
16
And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands upon them.
