This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He took them in his arms (enagkalisamenos). A distinct rebuke to the protest of the over-particular disciples. This word already in Mar 9:36. In Luk 2:28 we have the full idiom, to receive into the arms (eis tās agkalas dechesthai). So with tender fondling Jesus repeatedly blessed (kateulogei, imperfect), laying his hands upon each of them (titheis, present participle). It was a great moment for each mother and child.
