15People were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciples saw it, they sternly ordered them not to do it.
16But Jesus called for them and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
17Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.”
Psalms 34:11-11
11Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Psalms 103:13-13
13As a father has compassion for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him.
