Matthew 19:13-15

Blessing the Children

13 Then children were brought to Him so He might put His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked them.
14 Then Jesus said, "Leave the children alone, and don't try to keep them from coming to Me, because the kingdom of heaven is made up of people like this." [a]
15 After putting His hands on them, He went on from there.
