13 Then some little children were brought to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

14 Jesus, however, said,"Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away. For the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these."

15 When he had laid his hands on them, he went on from there.

13 Depois trouxeram crianças a Jesus, para que lhes impusesse as mãos e orasse por elas. Mas os discípulos os repreendiam.

14 Então disse Jesus: "Deixem vir a mim as crianças e não as impeçam; pois o Reino dos céus pertence aos que são semelhantes a elas".

15 Depois de lhes impor as mãos, partiu dali.
