Mark 9:30-37

30They left that place and were passing through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where he was

31because he was teaching his disciples. He taught them, “The Son of Man will be betrayed and handed over to people. They will kill him, but on the third day he will come back to life.”

32The disciples didn’t understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him.

33Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was at home, he asked the disciples, “What were you arguing about on the road?”

34They were silent. On the road they had argued about who was the greatest.

35He sat down and called the twelve apostles. He told them, “Whoever wants to be the most important person must take the last place and be a servant to everyone else.”

36Then he took a little child and had him stand among them. He put his arms around the child and said to them,

37“Whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me. Whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”
