New International Version NIV
15 Or gli recavano anche i bambini, perché li toccasse; ma i discepoli, veduto questo, sgridavano quelli che glieli recavano.
15
People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.
16 Ma Gesù chiamò a sé i bambini, e disse: Lasciate i piccoli fanciulli venire a me, e non glielo vietate, perché di tali è il regno di Dio.
16
But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 In verità io vi dico che chiunque non avrà ricevuto il regno di Dio come un piccolo fanciullo, non entrerà punto in esso.
17
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
