See that you don’t despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”

Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.
