“And they were bringing children to him that He might bless them;
and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, He was
indignant, and said to them:
‘Let the
children come to me, do not hinder them, for to such belongs the
Kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the
Kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.’
And He took them in His arms and blessed
them, laying His hands upon them. ”
