Note 1 topic: translate-symaction
τιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας ἐπ’ αὐτά
laying his hands on them
In Mark’s culture, when Jesus placed his hands on the little children, that expressed God’s love for them and conveyed God’s blessing to them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to a similar action from your culture, or you could explain what having laid his hands on them means. See how you translated “touch them” in 10:13. Alternate translation: [stretching out his hands toward them] or [which he did by placing his hands on them]
10:13-16 Jesus’ love and concern for children has already been seen in 5:41-43; 9:36-37, 42. Jesus uses the incident to teach that the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.
OET (OET-RV) So he continued hugging the children and commanding a good life for them as he placed his hands on each one.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
