Mark 9:35-37 ▼

35 Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.”

36 Taking a child he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it he said to them,

37 “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.”
