Exegesis
A purpose clause follows, introduced by hina {ἵνα | hí-na}, with autōn {αὐτῶν | au-tōn} functioning as the genitive object of haptētai {ἅπτηται | hap-tē-tai}, yielding the sense ‘so that He might touch them’. The present subjunctive here expresses intended action rather than completed fact, emphasizing the desire for His touch.
In context — Luke 18:15
But they were also bringing the infants to Him so that He might touch them. When the disciples saw this, they were rebuking them.
