Luke 9:47
The Greatest in the Kingdom
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.48And He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. For whoever is the least among all of you, he is the greatest.”
