Mark 9:34-37

English Standard Version

³⁴ But they kept silent, for on the way ^(A)they had argued with one another about who was the greatest. ³⁵ And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, ^(B)“If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” ³⁶ And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and ^(C)taking him in his arms, he said to them, ^37 (D)“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and ^(E)whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”
