Wycliffe Bible
46 But a thought entered into them, who of them should be greatest.
47 And Jesus, seeing the thoughts of the heart of them, took a child, and setted [set] him beside him;
48 and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me; for he that is least among you all, is the greatest. [and said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me; for why he that is less among you all, this is the more.]
