13 Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

14 But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

15 And he put his hands on them, and went away.

13 I reira ka kawea mai he tamariki nonohi ki a ia, kia whakapa ai ia i ona ringa ki a ratou, kia inoi: a riria iho ratou e nga akonga.

14 Na ko te kianga a Ihu, Tukua mai nga tamariki nonohi, aua hoki e araia atu ta ratou haere mai ki ahau: no nga penei hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

15 A whakapakia iho e ia ona ringa ki a ratou, a haere atu ana i reira.
