Jesus Blesses the Children

World Messianic Bible (WMB)

Mat 19:13–15

13 Then little children were brought to him that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.
14 But Yeshua said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”
15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

13 They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
14 But when Yeshua saw it, he was moved with indignation and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
15 Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
16 He took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 Yeshua summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
