1 At that hour the disciples came near to Jesus, saying, “Who, now, is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?” 2 And Jesus having called near a child, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Truly I say to you, if you may not be turned and become as the children, you may not enter into the kingdom of the heavens; 4 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens. 5 And he who may receive one such child in My Name, receives Me, 6 and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in Me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged on his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the world from the stumbling-blocks! For there is necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but woe to that man through whom the stumbling-block comes! Matthew 18:1-7, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
