Mark 10:13-16 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.… 1. Because they are not too young to do wrong. 2. Because the regeneration of children or adults is the work of the Holy Spirit. 3. Because piety is a matter of the heart, rather than of the intellect. 4. Special examples found in God's Word. 5. It is a pleasing confirmation of our faith in very early piety to observe the many instances within our own observation of the conversion of young children, and of their teachable spirit with reference to religion. (S. S. Portwin.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. |
