The Messiah Jesus blesses little children
The article examines how Jesus blesses the children, at Bethany, after the Feast of Dedication. This event is described in the synoptic gospels, illustrating the importance of children in the Kingdom of God despite the disciples’ reluctance.
Luke 18.15-17 (King James Version) :And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
