Luke 9:46

The Greatest in the Kingdom

45But they did not understand this statement. It was veiled from them so that they could not comprehend it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.46Then an argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.47But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, had a little child stand beside Him.
