Matthew 19:13-18 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

13. Then the people brought their little children to Jesus so that he could put his hands on them and pray for them. When his followers saw this, they told the people to stop bringing their children to Jesus.

14. But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people who are like these children.”

15. After Jesus put his hands on the children, he left there.

16. A man came to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to have life forever?”

17. Jesus answered, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only God is good. But if you want to have life forever, obey the commands.”

18. The man asked, “Which commands?”Jesus answered, “‘You must not murder anyone. You must not be guilty of adultery. You must not steal. You must not tell lies about your neighbor in court.
