About this coloring page
Matthew 19:14 begins "Suffer little children to come unto me" in the King James Version. Here "suffer" is older English for "let" or "allow", so the line means "Let the little children come to me." This Bible verse coloring page shows the words in bubble letters with hearts in the corners and the reference below.
In the story, people were bringing children to Jesus so he would put his hands on them and pray, and the disciples tried to send them away. Jesus told them to let the children come and not to stop them. It shows that children were welcome and valued. The verse is often used for baby dedications, children's ministry rooms, and nursery walls. It is a good chance to explain to kids that word meanings change over time, using "suffer" as the example.
