18 ^(A)At that ^[a]time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “^(B)Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” ² And He called a child to Himself and set him among them, ³ and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you ^[b]change and ^(C)become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ So whoever will humble himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whoever receives one such child in My name, receives Me;

¹⁴ But Jesus said, “^[a](A)Leave the children alone, and do not ^[b]forbid them to come to Me; for ^(B)the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

¹⁷ Truly I say to you, ^(A)whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.”
