Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

Interpretation
Some parents or nurses brought little children to Christ, that he should touch them, in token of his blessing them. It does not appear that they needed bodily cures, nor were they capable of being taught: but those who had the care of them believed that Christ's blessing would do their souls good; therefore they brought them to him.
