Mark 10:16

New American Bible - revised edition

Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them. The Rich Man.

See the chapter Copy

Like a shepherd he feeds his flock; in his arms he gathers the lambs, Carrying them in his bosom, leading the ewes with care.

While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.”

Taking a child he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it he said to them,

May you be blessed in the city, and blessed in the country!
