Suffr the little chldrn

The phrase “Suffer the little children” comes from Matthew 19:14 (KJV):

“But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

In this context, “suffer” means “allow” or “permit.” So, Jesus is saying, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

This verse highlights Jesus’ love for children and emphasizes childlike faith as an example for believers.
