Let the Children Come to Me

13 ^eThen children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples ^frebuked the people,

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, ^o“Let the children come to me; ^pdo not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 15 ^qTruly, I say to you, whoever does not ^rreceive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” 16 And ^she took them in his arms and blessed them, ^tlaying his hands on them.

15 And he laid his hands on them and went away.
