Explanation: As Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem for the final confrontation with the Jewish authorities and his resulting crucifixion, some brought little children to him asking him to touch them and pray for them. The disciples tried to stop this, but Jesus rebuked them and said that children were the model of how everyone should receive the Kingdom of God. These children were the complete opposite in attitude and understanding of those who crucified Jesus.
