Mark 9:33-37 ▼

33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, |What were you arguing on the way?|

34 But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.

35 And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, |If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all.|

36 He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

37 |Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who sent me.|
