51 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his
hands on them, and pray: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked those that
brought them,
52 But when Joshua saw it, he was much displeased, and called
them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
53 Verily I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not
enter therein.
54 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them,
blessed them and departed thence.
