Matthew 19:13-15
Jesus Blesses Children
13 aThen some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “aLet the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for bthe kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15 And after laying His hands on them, He departed from there.
Luke 18:15-17
15 aAnd they were bringing even their babies to Him so that He would touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they were rebuking them. 16 But Jesus called for them, saying, “Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 17 Truly I say to you, awhoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
