Matthew 19:14

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

But {G1161} Jesus {G2424} said {G2036}, Suffer {G863} little children {G3813}, and {G2532} forbid {G2967} them {G846} not {G3361}, to come {G2064} unto {G4314} me {G3165}: for {G1063} of such {G5108} is {G2076} the kingdom {G932} of heaven {G3772}.

However, Yeshua said, "Let the children come to me, don't stop them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these."

But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven.
