Lucas 18:15

Listen to Lucas 18:15
15 Y le traían aun a los niños muy pequeños para que los tocara, pero al ver esto los discípulos, los reprendían.

Lucas 18:15 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:15

And they brought unto him also infants
As well as grown persons, that were sick, to be healed by him:

that he would touch them;
in order, as some learned men think, to cure them of diseases that attended them; for one of the ways by which Christ healed persons, was by touching them; nor do we read of his touching in common for any other purpose, or of persons desiring him to touch them, or theirs, but for this end; in ( Matthew 19:13 ) it is read, "that he should put his hands on them"; and so the Arabic and Persic versions here read, in order to pray over them, and bless them: but neither in one place, nor the other, is any mention of their baptism, or of their being brought for such a purpose; nor can it be concluded from hence;

but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them;
the persons that brought the infants; (See Gill on Matthew 19:13).

Lucas 18:15 In-Context

13 Pero el recaudador de impuestos, de pie y a cierta distancia, no quería ni siquiera alzar los ojos al cielo, sino que se golpeaba el pecho, diciendo: "Dios, ten piedad de mí, pecador."
14 Os digo que éste descendió a su casa justificado pero aquél no; porque todo el que se ensalza será humillado, pero el que se humilla será ensalzado.
15 Y le traían aun a los niños muy pequeños para que los tocara, pero al ver esto los discípulos, los reprendían.
16 Mas Jesús, llamándolos a su lado, dijo: Dejad que los niños vengan a mí, y no se lo impidáis, porque de los que son como éstos es el reino de Dios.
17 En verdad os digo: el que no recibe el reino de Dios como un niño, no entrará en él.
