Mark 9:33-37 ▼

33 Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples, |What were you arguing about on the road?|

34 But they kept silent, because they had argued on the road with one another about who was the greatest.

35 So he sat down, called the Twelve, and told them, |If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.|

36 Then he took a little child and had him stand among them. He took him in his arms and told them,

37 |Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.|
