========================
Luke 9:44-48
========================
44While everyone was
marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, “Listen carefully to
what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the
hands of men.”
45But 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.
46An argument started among
the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest.
47Jesus, knowing their
thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him.
48Then 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.”
