Mark 9:33-37

New King James Version

Who Is the Greatest?^(A)

³³^(B)Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you ^[a]disputed among yourselves on the road?” ³⁴But they kept silent, for on the road they had ^(C)disputed among themselves who would be the ^(D)greatest. ³⁵And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, ^(E)“If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” ³⁶Then ^(F)He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them, ³⁷“Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and ^(G)whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.”
