Mark 10:13 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:13

And they brought young children to him
The parents, or friends, or nurses of the children in those parts, having heard of the fame of Jesus; and having entertained an high opinion of him, as a great prophet, and a holy, good man, brought their children in their arms, or hands,

that he should touch them;
as he did when he healed diseased persons, as these might be, though not expressed:

and [his] disciples rebuked those that brought [them];
(See Gill on Matthew 19:13).

Mark 10:13 In-Context

11 And he saith to them, Whoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them; and [his] disciples rebuked those that brought [them].

14 But when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

15 Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, he shall not enter it.
