I agree, Baptism is not specifically mentioned in the text at all - probably because Jesus did not baptize anyone.
What it does state is that children of believing parent(s) are considered members of the Kingdom of Heaven. This is a premise of an argument used by Paedo-Baptists to prove Baptism:
1) Children of believers are considered members of the Kingdom of Heaven.
2) Baptism indicates membership in the Kingdom of Heaven.
3) Therefore, Children of believers should be baptized.
Thanks for pointing this out.
