1 In that hour came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens? 2 And Jesus, having called a young child, set it in the midst of them, 3 And said, Truly I say to you, Except ye be turned, and become as young children, ye should not come into the kingdom of the heavens. 4 Whoever, therefore, should be humbled as this young child, the same is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens. 5 And whoever shall receive such a young child in my name, receives me. 6 And whoever should offend one of these little ones believing in me, it is profitable for him that the millstone of an ass be hung upon his neck, and he be sunk in the midst of the sea. 7 Woe to the world for offences I for there is necessity for offences to come; but woe to that man by whom the offence comes!
