Who Is the Greatest?

1 1At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ”
2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them
3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you 2turn and 3become like children, you 4will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
