Mark 9:33-37 ▼

33 And He came to Capernaum, and being in the house, He was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?”

34 And they were silent, for they reasoned with one another in the way who is greater;

35 and having sat down He called the Twelve, and He says to them, “If any wills to be first, he will be last of all, and minister of all.”

36 And having taken a child, He set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in His arms, said to them,

37 “Whoever may receive one of such children in My Name, receives Me, and whoever may receive Me, does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”
