People were bringing little children to him in order that he
might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them.
But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them,
“Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for
it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of
God as a little child will never enter it.” And he took them
up in his arms, laid his hands on them, and blessed them.
Mark
10:13-16
