Mark 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:13

And they brought young children to him
The parents, or friends, or nurses of the children in those parts, having heard of the fame of Jesus; and having entertained an high opinion of him, as a great prophet, and a holy, good man, brought their children in their arms, or hands,

that he should touch them;
as he did when he healed diseased persons, as these might be, though not expressed:

and [his] disciples rebuked those that brought [them];
(See Gill on Matthew 19:13).

Mark 10:13 In-Context

11 He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against his wife;

12 and if a wife divorces her husband and marries another man, she too commits adultery."

13 People were bringing children to him so that he might touch them, but the talmidim rebuked those people.

14 However, when Yeshua saw it, he became indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me, don't stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

15 Yes! I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it!"
