Mark 9:33-37

Who Is the Greatest?

33 And ¹they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house ²he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

34 But they kept silent, for on the way ³they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.

35 And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, ⁴"If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."

36 And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and ⁵taking him in his arms, he said to them,

37 ⁶"Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and ⁷whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me."
