{10:13} And they brought to him the little children, so that he might touch them. But the disciples admonished those who brought them.
\n{10:14} But when Jesus saw this, he took offense, and he said to them: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Allow the little ones to come to me, and do not prohibit them. For of such as these is the kingdom of God.
\n{10:15} Amen I say to you, whoever will not accept the kingdom of God like a little child, will not enter into it.\u201d
\n{10:16} And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
