1
At the same time came the disciples to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2
And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the midst of them,
3
And said, Verily I say to you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4
Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5
And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.
6
But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me, to sin, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Woe to the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!
