But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them,
Allow the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
All Commentaries on Mark 10:14 Go To Mark 10
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Unless we are possessed of the innocence and purity of little children, we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. By the kingdom of heaven, we may here understand the truths of the gospel; for as a child never contradicts its teachers, nor opposes to them vain reasonings and empty words, but faithfully and readily receives their instructions, and with fear obeys them; so must we implicitly obey, and without any, the least, opposition, receive the word of the Lord. (Ven. Bede)
