Bible Verses About Children

And after He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.

He went on to say, “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintain your own tradition.

For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God),

he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother.

Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

Then Jesus told her, “Because of this answer, you may go. The demon has left your daughter.”

Now people were bringing the little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, and the disciples rebuked those who brought them.

But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.

“To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,

including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.

She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

“Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
