    Jesus was teaching and healing the sick in various towns and villages, around Jerusalem, Large crowds often gathered around Him to listen to His teachings and witness miracles, because everywhere Jesus went He would touch people and make their lives better. 
    One day Jesus came to Judaea -- Great multitudes followed him; the Bible says, those who came sick, He healed them. As Jesus was talking to a big group of people, Mom’s and Dad’s begin to bring their children to Jesus, hoping that He would place His hands on them and bless them. However, the disciples, thinking that Jesus shouldn't be bothered, told the parents, Jesus don't have time right now, and they must go away, But when Jesus saw what was going on, He was very displeased, and He told His disciples', "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Then the Lord said unto them except you adults become as a child, you cannot know the Kingdom of God. He then took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.
