Let the Children Come to Me
13 For ver. 13-16, see Matt. 19:13-15;Luke 18:15-17And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples ver. 48rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, Matt. 18:3"Let the children come to me; [ch. 9:39]do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.15 [John 3:3,5] Truly, I say to you, whoever does not [Luke 8:13;James 1:21]receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."16 And ch. 9:36he took them in his arms and blessed them, Rev. 1:17laying his hands on them.
