Jesus was ever a lover of children. He accepted their childish sympathy and their open, unaffected love. The grateful praise from their pure lips was music in His ears, and refreshed His spirit when oppressed by contact with crafty and hypocritical men. Wherever the Saviour went, the benignity of His countenance, and His gentle, kindly manner won the love and confidence of children.

Jesus havde altid elsket børn. Han var glad for deres barnlige tillid og deres frimodige, ægte kærlighed. Den taknemmelige lovprisning fra deres rene læber lød som musik for hans øren og forfriskede hans sjæl, når den var knuget af samværet med listige og hykleriske mennesker. Hvor Frelseren end gik hen, vandt hans milde ansigt og hans venlige optræden børnenes kærlighed og tillid.
