Luke 18:15-17

Let the Children Come to Me

15 ¹Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they ²rebuked them.

16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, ³“Let the children come to me, and ⁴do not hinder them, ⁵for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

17 ⁶Truly, I say to you, whoever does not ⁷receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it. ”
