“People began to bring him also their infants for him to touch these.”—Luke 18:15.
2. (a) Why may the disciples have tried to turn the people away? (b) How did Jesus respond to the situation?
2 What response was there to this? Well, the disciples scolded the people and tried to send them away, no doubt believing that they were doing Jesus a favor by protecting him from unnecessary disturbance and stress. But Jesus became indignant with his disciples, saying: “‘Let the young children come to me; do not try to stop them’ . . . And he took the children into his arms and began blessing them.” (Mark 10:13-16) Yes, despite all that must have been on his mind and heart, Jesus took time for infants.
