Jesus blesses the children
See them side by side
Matthew 19:13-15
13Then children were brought to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them. 14But Jesus said, “Let the children be, and do not hinder them from coming to me, for to such as these belongs the kingdom of heaven.” 15And after laying his hands on them, he went from there.
13And they were bringing children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them. 14But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such as these belongs the kingdom of God. 15Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter into it.” 16And taking them in his arms, he was blessing them, laying his hands on them.
15And they were bringing to him even the babies, so that he might touch them; but when the disciples saw it, they began rebuking them. 16But Jesus called them to himself, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 17Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter into it.”
