Jesus completely disagrees with his disciples. They must immediately stop sending away those parents and their children. Jesus is even indignant about the disciples' attitude (Mark 10:14). Those little children are allowed to come very close to him. They are important in Jesus' eyes. He takes them in his arms and blesses them (see Mark 10:16). Jesus also provides a surprising explanation for the adults by pointing them to the kingdom of God. A person can only belong to that kingdom of God by becoming like those little children. That certainly raises questions.
16 Et Jésus les appela, et dit: Laissez venir à moi les petits enfants, et ne les en empêchez pas; car le royaume de Dieu est pour ceux qui leur ressemblent.
