⁴⁶ And there entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be greater of them?

⁴⁷ and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself,

⁴⁸ and said to them, `Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all -- he shall be great.'

⁴⁹ And John answering said, `Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;'

⁵⁰ and Jesus said unto him, `Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'

⁵¹ And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem,

⁵² and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him,

⁵³ and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir, wilt thou [that] we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?'

⁵⁵ and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, `Ye have not known of what spirit ye are;

⁵⁶ for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save;' and they went on to another village.
