Matthew 18:1-5
Who Is the Greatest?
1 At that time(a)(A) the disciples(B) came to Jesus and said, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”(C)
2 Then He called a child to Him and had him stand among them.
3 “I assure you,” He said, “unless you are converted(b) and become like children,(D) you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.(E)
4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child—this one is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoever welcomes(c) one child like this in My name welcomes Me.
