Mark 10:13-16

[13] And  they brought  young children  to him,  that  he should touch  them:  and  his disciples  rebuked  those that brought  [14] But  when Jesus  it, he was much displeased,  and  said  unto them,  Suffer  the little children  to come  unto  and  forbid  them  not:  for  of such  the kingdom  of God.  [15] Verily  I say  Whosoever  receive  the kingdom  of God  as  a little child,  enter  therein.  [16] And  them  up in his arms,  put  his hands  upon  them,  and blessed  them.
