AV: "And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them."

ESV: "And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them."

I just became aware of this textual variant a few hours ago, in studying this passage in regard to paedobaptism. Any thoughts? (I can see an argument for defending the Byzantine/TR rendering; I'm interested in what opinions or resources others might have regarding this text.)
