And he laid his hands on them and went away from there.
This verse describes Jesus’ gentle, caring, and personal attitude toward children. He not only welcomed them with words, but also brought His blessing upon them. This shows that Jesus’ blessing was not merely speech, but also a loving action. After fulfilling that spiritual ministry, He departs, showing that even the briefest moments can be filled with a heavenly touch. This verse completes the thought of the previous verses about the spiritual value of children and Jesus’ kindness toward them.
