² as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,

¹⁷ He saith to him the third time, `Simon, `son' of Jonas, dost thou dearly love me?'

¹³ Then were brought near to him children that he might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them.

¹⁴ But Jesus said, `Suffer the children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the reign of the heavens;'

⁴ And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, `Why think ye evil in your hearts?

¹⁰ I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his doings.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my thoughts,

²³ and her children I will kill in death, and know shall all the assemblies that I am he who is searching reins and hearts; and I will give to you -- to each -- according to your works.
