³⁵ And sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, “^(A)If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” ³⁶ And He took a child and placed him among them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them, ³⁷ “^(B)Whoever ^[a]receives ^[b]one child like this in My name ^[c]receives Me; and whoever ^[d]receives Me does not ^[e]receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”
