Receiving the Children

Matthew 19:13-15
The little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

And he laid His hands on them and departed from there.

This story is also found in Mark 10:13-16 and Luke 18:15-17.
