People brought little children to Jesus. They wanted Jesus to pray for them.

The disciples told the people to stop. But Jesus said to let the children come to Him!

Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these. He put His hands on the children and blessed them. Jesus loves children!
