9:33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

9:34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

9:35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

9:36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

9:37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
