Mark 10:13-16 (NASV)
13 And they were bringing children to Him so that He
might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But
when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them,
“Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them;
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly
I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of
God like a child will not enter it at all.” 16 And He took
them in His arms and began blessing them, laying His
hands on them.
