Mt 19, Verses 13–15English original
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
(non occ.) He laid His hands upon them while men held them, to signify that the grace of His aid was necessary.
