Luke 18:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Jesus Blesses the Children.^[a] People were bringing even infants to Jesus so that he might touch them. When the disciples observed this, they rebuked them. ¹⁶ However, Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them. For it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. ¹⁷ Amen, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
