Context of Luke 9:46
44“As for you, let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of Man is going to be handed over to men.” 45But they did 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. Now an argument started among them as to which of them might be the greatest. 47But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking in their hearts, took a child and had him stand by His side, 48and He said to them, “Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great.”
