Bible Verses About Children: Symbolic of the regenerated

Yeshua called a little child to himself, and set him in their midst,

and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

He took a little child, and set him in their midst. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

“Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

There arose an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

Yeshua, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
