MATTHEW 19:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
But Jesus said: let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven. The let them come and do not hinder mirrors the disciples' own calling: they came when Jesus called them, and now they are hindering those who come. The to such belongs the kingdom echoes Matthew 18:3–4: the kingdom belongs to those who become like children — and to children themselves.
