Mark 9:33-37

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³³ And they arrived at Capernaum; and when [they were] in the house, He asked them, What were you discussing and arguing about on the road?

³⁴ But they kept still, for on the road they had discussed and disputed with one another as to who was the greatest.

³⁵ And He sat down and called the Twelve [apostles], and He said to them, If anyone desires to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all.

³⁶ And He took a little child and put him in the center of their group; and taking him in [His] arms, He said to them,

³⁷ Whoever in My name and for My sake accepts and receives and welcomes one such child also accepts and receives and welcomes Me; and whoever so receives Me receives not only Me but Him Who sent Me.
