Luke 9:43-48

43Awe gripped the people as they saw this majestic display of God’s power. While everyone was marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples,

44“Listen to me and remember what I say. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies.”

45But they didn’t know what he meant. Its significance was hidden from them, so they couldn’t understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

46Then his disciples began arguing about which of them was the greatest.

47But Jesus knew their thoughts, so he brought a little child to his side.

48Then he said to them, “Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me also welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest.”
