3 Nephi 17
The way Christ prepares to leave and then chooses to stay and heal the sick is an example of a parent ready to rush off to do their grownup duties and then staying to meet the request of a child which might not have been strictly necessary but which meets a deep yearning inside them.
I wonder if Mormon got his description of how Christ prayed while surrounded by the children from one or more of the three Nephites who were called as disciples that day and later granted an immunity from death.
