Context of Luke 9:47

45But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying. 46Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, 48And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. 49And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
