He Laid His Hands


Matthew 19:13-15 ESV
13 Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, 14 but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven. ” 15 And he laid his hands on them and went away. 

He laid His hands on many, opening their eyes and healing. The Greek word below is translated here as "laid". I'm unsure if this is where our word epiphany derives, but it comes to mind. Moments of revelation,confirmation, and peace come as the Holy Spirit touches us. As His children, we receive.  We should make every effort to make sure nothing hinders our coming,

G2007 ἐπιτίθημι * epitithēmi * ep-ee-tith'-ay-mee * From G1909 and G5087; to impose (in a friendly or hostile sense): - add unto, lade, lay upon, put (up) on, set on
