One day some parents brought their children to Jesus
so he could touch and bless them.
But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him.
When Jesus saw what was happening,
he was angry with his disciples.
He said to them,
“Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them!
For the Kingdom of God belongs to those
who are like these children.
I tell you the truth,
anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child
will never enter it.”
