Mark 9:36

The Greatest in the Kingdom

35Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”36Then He had a little child stand among them. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them,37“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me welcomes not only Me, but the One who sent Me.”
