Jerome, 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.”

“And He said distinctly, Of such is the kingdom of heaven, not Of these, to shew that it was not years, but disposition that determined His judgment, and that the reward was promised to such as had like innocence and simplicity.”
