Luke 9:46-48

Contemporary English Version

Who Is the Greatest?

(Matthew 18.1-5; Mark 9.33-37)

^46 (A) Jesus' disciples were arguing about which one of them was the greatest. ⁴⁷ Jesus knew what they were thinking, and he had a child stand there beside him. ^48 (B) Then he said to his disciples, “When you welcome even a child because of me, you welcome me. And when you welcome me, you welcome the one who sent me. Whichever one of you is the most humble is the greatest.”
