Luke 9:46-48

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴⁶ But a controversy arose among them as to which of them might be the greatest [surpassing the others in excellence, worth, and authority].

⁴⁷ But Jesus, as He perceived the thoughts of their hearts, took a little child and put him at His side

⁴⁸ And told them, Whoever receives and accepts and welcomes this child in My name and for My sake receives and accepts and welcomes Me; and whoever so receives Me so also receives Him Who sent Me. For he who is least and lowliest among you all—he is [the one who is truly] great.
