Mark 10:14

“But when Jesus saw it, etc..] Observed that his disciples reproved those that brought their children to, him, he was much displeased; with his disciples, who took too much upon them; for they ought first, to have known their master's will; whether it was his pleasure to grant the favour desired for these children, and not to have forbid them of themselves: and said unto them; the disciples, as the Persic version reads: suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God; or “of them who” are, ylh ya, “as these”, as the Syriac version, renders the words; or, as the Arabic, who “are like to these”; and the Persic, who are “like to these little…”

“See the notes at Matthew 19:13-15. Mark 10:13 Should touch them - That is, should lay his hands on them, and pray for them, and bless them. Compare Matthew 19:13. It was common to lay the hands on the head of a person for whom a blessing was asked. See the case of Jacob, Genesis 48:14. Mark 10:14 Saw it - Saw the conduct of his disciples. Was much displeased - Because, first, it was a pleasure to Him to receive and bless little children; and, secondly, they were doing what they were not commanded to do - interfering in a case where it was evidently improper. Mark 10:15 Whosoever shall not receive - Whosoever shall not manifest the spirit of a little child. The kingdom, of God - The gospel.…”

“Jesus seeing it was much displeased - At their blaming those who were not blame worthy: and endeavouring to hinder the children from receiving a blessing. Of such is the kingdom of God - The members of the kingdom which I am come to set up in the world are such as these, as well as grown persons, of a child - like temper. Mark 10:15”

“10:14-15 Mark does not explain what characteristics of children make them fit for the Kingdom of God; Matthew 18:4-5 suggests that the attributes include humility and the ability to receive things simply.”
