This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They brought (prosepheron). Imperfect active, they were bringing. So Mar 10:13.
Their babes (ta brephē). Old word for infants. Here Mar 10:13; Mat 19:13 have paidia (little children). Note “also” (kai) in Luke, not in Mark and Matthew.
That he should touch them (hina autōn haptētai). Present middle subjunctive (linear action, repeatedly touch or one after the other), where Mar 10:13 has aorist middle subjunctive (hapsētai).
Rebuked (epetimōn). Imperfect indicative active. Either inchoative began to rebuke, or continued, kept on rebuking. Matthew and Mark have the aorist epetimēsan.
