Matthew 18:1-6

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, asking, "Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?" ¹

2 So Jesus called a child to come and stand in front of them,

3 and said, "I assure you that unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven. ²

4 The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child.

5 And whoever welcomes in my name one such child as this, welcomes me.

6 "If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea.
