Jesus Teaches About Family and Blesses Children

Jesus came to Judea, where some people tested Him with questions about marriage and divorce. Jesus pointed them back to God's good purpose for the family from the beginning and reminded them not to hurt others because of hard hearts. Later, parents brought their children to Jesus and asked Him to lay His hands on them and pray. The disciples tried to stop them, but Jesus called the children to Him, embraced and blessed them, showing that people who trust with simple faith are pleasing to God.
