Pseudo-Chrysostom, on Matt 19:13

“Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.”

“The Lord had been holding discourse of chastity; and some of His hearers now brought unto Him infants, who in respect of chastity are the purest; for they supposed that it was the pure in body only whom He had approved; and this is that which is said, Then were brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray.”
