Mark 10:13-16 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.… Dr. Tyng, senior, of New York, said that in all his ministry he had never hesitated, when the choice must be made between one child and two adults, to take the child. "It seems to me," he says, "that the devil would never ask anything mare of a minister than to have him look upon his mission as chiefly to the grown-up members of his congregation, while somebody else was to look after the children. I can see the devil standing at the door, and saying to the minister, 'Now you just fire away at the old folks; and I'll stand here, and steal away the little ones as the Indians catch ducks, swimming under them, catching them by the legs, and pulling them under.'" Parallel Verses KJV: And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. |
