Luke 9:43-48

43And they were all amazed at the 1 2greatness of God.

3But while everyone was astonished at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples, 44“As for you, let these words sink into your ears: 4for the Son of Man is going to be 5handed over to men.” 45But 6they 7did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they would not comprehend it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.

46 8Now an argument 9started among them as to which of them might be the greatest. 47But Jesus, 10knowing 11what they were thinking in their hearts, took a child and had him stand by His side, 48and He said to them, “12Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; 13for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great.”
