Luke 18:15-17

New International Reader's Version

Little Children Are Brought to Jesus

¹⁵ People were also bringing babies to Jesus. They wanted him to place his hands on the babies. When the disciples saw this, they told the people to stop. ¹⁶ But Jesus asked the children to come to him. “Let the little children come to me,” he said. “Don’t keep them away. God’s kingdom belongs to people like them. ¹⁷ What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who will not receive God’s kingdom like a little child will never enter it.”
