Holman Christian Standard Bible

Blessing the Children

¹³ Some^(A) people were bringing little children^(B) to Him so He might touch them, but His disciples rebuked^(C) them. ¹⁴ When Jesus saw it, He was indignant^(D) and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me.^(E) Don’t stop^(F) them, for the kingdom of God^(G) belongs to such as these. ¹⁵ I assure you:^(H) Whoever does not welcome^[a](I) the kingdom of God like a little child^(J) will never enter it.” ¹⁶ After taking them in His arms, He laid His hands on^(K) them and blessed^(L) them.
