In Luke 18:39, the disciples also rebuke the blind man seeking Jesus, mirroring their rebuke here. Both show Jesus welcoming those others reject.

In Luke 9:49, John rebukes an outsider exorcist—showing a pattern of disciples restricting access to Jesus, similar to rebuking the infants.

Jesus' reply 'Do not stop him' in Luke 9:50 parallels his command to let the children come, both correcting the disciples' exclusivity.

Matthew's parallel adds that Jesus laid hands on the children and prayed, highlighting his blessing beyond just touching.

Mark's parallel adds Jesus' indignation and that he took the children in his arms, emphasizing his warm welcome.

Mark 10:14 records Jesus' direct command 'Let the children come to me,' a key detail that reinforces the main verse.
