Now people were bringing children to Jesus so that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
Many people began rebuking him, telling him to be silent, but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
John said to him in response, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in yoʋr name, and we told him to stop because he does not follow us.”
