This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He was moved with indignation (ēganaktēsen). In Mark alone. The word is ingressive aorist, became indignant, and is a strong word of deep emotion (from agan and achthomai, to feel pain). Already in Mat 21:15; Mat 26:8. Old and common word.
Suffer the little children to come unto me (aphete ta paidia erchesthai pros me). Mark has the infinitive erchesthai (come) not in Matthew, but in Luke. Surely it ought to be a joy to parents to bring their children to Jesus, certainly to allow them to come, but to hinder their coming is a crime. There are parents who will have to give answer to God for keeping their children away from Jesus.
