Mark 10:13-16

Little Children Brought to Jesus

13 And they were bringing young children to him so that he could touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.
14 But [when] Jesus saw [it], he was indignant, and said to them, "Let the young children come to me. Do not forbid them, {for to such belongs} the kingdom of God.
15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a young child will never enter into it."
16 And [after] taking [them] into his arms, he blessed them, placing his hands on them.
