1 In that hour, the disciples drew near to Jesus, saying, “Whom do you consider to be greater in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And Jesus, calling to himself a little child, placed him in their midst. 3 And he said: “Amen I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever will have humbled himself like this little child, such a one is greater in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever shall accept one such little child in my name, accepts me. 6 But whoever will have led astray one of these little ones, who trust in me, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck, and to be submerged in the depths of the sea. 7 Woe to a world that leads people astray! Although it is necessary for temptations to arise, nevertheless: Woe to that man through whom temptation arises! Matthew 18:1-7, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
