SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:15
De cierto os digo, que el que no recibiere el Reino de Dios como un niño, no entrará en él.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. Verily I say, unto you , etc..] A form of speech used when our Lord was about to asseverate a thing, and assert something of moment and importance, and which he would have attended to. Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God ; the Gospel, and the mysteries of it: as a little child ; laying aside all pride and prejudice, attending thereunto with humility and meekness: he shall not enter therein ; he shall attain to no true spiritual knowledge of the Gospel; nor should he be admitted into a Gospel church state, and to the ordinances of it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-16 - Some parents or nurses brought little children to Christ, that he should touch them, in token of his blessing them. It does not appea that they needed bodily cures, nor were they capable of being taught but those who had the care of them believed that Christ's blessin would do their souls good; therefore they brought them to him. Jesu ordered that they should be brought to him, and that nothing should be said or done to hinder it. Children should be directed to the Saviou as soon as they are able to understand his words. Also, we must receiv the kingdom of God as little children; we must stand affected to Chris and his grace, as little children to their parents, nurses, an teachers.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
10:15 {As a little child} (hws paidion). How does a little child receive the kingdom of God? The little child learns to obey its parents simply and uncomplainingly. There are some new psychologists who argue against teaching obedience to children. The results have not been inspiring. Jesus here presents the little child with trusting and simple and loving obedience as the model for adults in coming into the kingdom. Jesus does not here say that children are in the kingdom of God because they are children.
