Abstract
Luke 18:16-17 contributes to a great teaching of Jesus with regards to the general acceptance of the children in the so-called kingdom of God. In these narratives from Jesus the terms of religion and ethnicity do not play a role or leave a place for judgment. In the course of Gaza crisis so far more than 40,000 (October, 2023-August, 2024) civilians are reported to be killed and amount them around 70 percent are children or women. To interpret the meaning of these casualties in one of the worst massacres against children in history, the hermeneutics of Luke 18:16-17 shall play a role in a Christian or religious approach towards this crisis and separate the truth from falsehood in the background.
Keywords: Gaza, Luke 18:6-17, Children, Bible
