What does suffer the children in the King James version of the Bible mean?

Answer:

Answer

'Suffer' is an older English word which means today 'to let or allow' and so it simply means 'allow the children' or 'let the children.' It has absolutely nothing to do with 'suffering' as we understand it today in terms of hardship or pain.
