MARK 10:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.”
People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who brought them — the children episode follows the divorce teaching in all three Synoptics, likely because the two topics belong together: marriage and its children, the covenant unit of family in the kingdom. The disciples rebuking those who bring children is the same protective instinct they showed when the blind men called out (Mark 10:48) and when the woman anointed Jesus (Mark 14:4–5) — management of Jesus' access that misreads his priorities.
