13 Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:

15 and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.

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.
