³⁷ “Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and ^(A)whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.”

³ and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, ^(A)unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. ^4 (B)Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ^5 (C)Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

^16 (A)He who hears you hears Me, ^(B)he who rejects you rejects Me, and ^(C)he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”

A Cup of Cold Water^(A)

^40 (B)“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. ^41 (C)He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. ^42 (D)And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried out and said, ^(A)“He who believes in Me, ^(B)believes not in Me ^(C)but in Him who sent Me. ⁴⁵ And ^(D)he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.

^21 (A)He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and ^[a]manifest Myself to him.”

^22 (B)Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, ^(C)and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

^30 (A)I and My Father are one.”

⁴⁸ and said to them, ^(A)“Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and ^(B)whoever receives Me ^(C)receives Him who sent Me. ^(D)For he who is least among you all will be great.”

²³ that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. ^(A)He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
