44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.
45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
46 An argument started among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.

47 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.
48 And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
48 Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”

53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem.
54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them ?”
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”
62 And Jesus said to him, No man having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
