1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest
in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 He called a child, whom he put among them,
3 and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children,
you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever becomes humble like
this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 Whoever welcomes
one such child in my name welcomes me. |
33 Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them,
"What were you arguing about on the way?" 34 But they were silent, for
on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. 35 He
sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "Whoever wants to be first
must be last of all and servant of all." 36 Then he took a little child
and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, 37 "Whoever
welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me
welcomes not me but the one who sent me." |
46 An argument arose among them as to which one of them was the greatest.
47 But Jesus, aware of their inner thoughts, took a little child and put
it by his side, 48 and said to them, "Whoever welcomes this child in my
name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me;
for the least among all of you is the greatest." |
