15 The chief priests and the scribes saw the big works that Jesus did. They saw the children calling out in the temple, God save the Son of David! They were angry.
16 They asked Jesus, Do you hear what they are saying? Jesus answered, Yes. Have you never read this? "You like the praise of children and babies."
14 But Jesus said, Let the children come to me. Do not try to stop them. The kingdom of heaven belongs to people like them.
1 The disciples came to Jesus at that time. They said, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 Jesus called a child to him. He had the child stand in front of them.
3 He said, I tell you the truth. If your hearts do not change and become like hearts of children, you will never go into the kingdom of heaven.
4 So anyone who feels himself small like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
15 I tell you the truth. If anyone does not believe in the kingdom of God like a child, he will never go in.
16 Jesus took the children up in his arms. He put his hands on them and blessed them.
36 Jesus took a child and had him stand in front of them. Then he took the child in his arms and said,
37 If anyone takes in a child like this for my sake, he takes in me. If anyone takes in me, he takes in the One who sent me.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything. This pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not make your children angry. They might stop trying to do right.
10 Do not think badly of these little children. I tell you this. They have angels in heaven. And all the time their angels can see the face of my father who is in heaven.
1 Children, obey your parents as the Lord wants you to. This is the right thing to do. 2,
2 Respect your father and mother. This is the first law of God with a promise: So that all will be well with you, and that you may live long on earth.
3 Fathers, do not make your children angry. But teach them the things children need to know, and tell them what they must not do. Teach them what Christ would teach them.
4 Servants, obey your boss. Respect him with all your heart and try to please him as you would Christ.
