At that moment the talmidim came to Yeshua and asked, "Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"
2
He called a child to him, stood him among them,
3
and said, "Yes! I tell you that unless you change and become like little children, you won't even enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
4
So the greatest in the Kingdom is who ever makes himself as humble as this child.
5
Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me;
6
and whoever ensnares one of these little ones who trust me, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and be drowned in the open sea!
7
Woe to the world because of snares! For there must be snares, but woe to the person who sets the snare!
8
"So if your hand or foot becomes a snare for you, cut it off and throw it away! Better that you should be maimed or crippled and obtain eternal life than keep both hands or both feet and be thrown into everlasting fire!
