15 Y traían á él los niños para que los tocase; lo cual viendo los discípulos les reñían.

16 Mas Jesús llamándolos, dijo: Dejad los niños venir á mí, y no los impidáis; porque de tales es el reino de Dios.

17 De cierto os digo, que cualquiera que no recibiere el reino de Dios como un niño, no entrará en él.

19 Y Jesús le dijo: ¿Por qué me llamas bueno? ninguno hay bueno sino sólo Dios.
