Lukas 18:15

Listen to Lukas 18:15
15 En zij brachten ook de kinderkens tot Hem, opdat Hij die zou aanraken; en de discipelen, dat ziende, bestraften dezelve.

Lukas 18:15 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:15

And they brought unto him also infants
As well as grown persons, that were sick, to be healed by him:

that he would touch them;
in order, as some learned men think, to cure them of diseases that attended them; for one of the ways by which Christ healed persons, was by touching them; nor do we read of his touching in common for any other purpose, or of persons desiring him to touch them, or theirs, but for this end; in ( Matthew 19:13 ) it is read, "that he should put his hands on them"; and so the Arabic and Persic versions here read, in order to pray over them, and bless them: but neither in one place, nor the other, is any mention of their baptism, or of their being brought for such a purpose; nor can it be concluded from hence;

but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them;
the persons that brought the infants; (See Gill on Matthew 19:13).

Lukas 18:15 In-Context

13 En de tollenaar, van verre staande, wilde ook zelfs de ogen niet opheffen naar den hemel, maar sloeg op zijn borst, zeggende: O God! wees mij zondaar genadig!
14 Ik zeg ulieden: Deze ging af gerechtvaardigd in zijn huis, meer dan die; want een ieder, die zichzelven verhoogt, zal vernederd worden, en die zichzelven vernedert, zal verhoogd worden.
15 En zij brachten ook de kinderkens tot Hem, opdat Hij die zou aanraken; en de discipelen, dat ziende, bestraften dezelve.
16 Maar Jezus riep dezelve kinderkens tot Zich, en zeide: Laat de kinderkens tot Mij komen, en verhindert hen niet; want derzulken is het Koninkrijk Gods.
17 Voorwaar, zeg Ik u: Zo wie het Koninkrijk Gods niet zal ontvangen als een kindeken, die zal geenszins in hetzelve komen.
