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.

³⁶ Then ^(A)He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them, ³⁷ “Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and ^(B)whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.”

⁴⁷ And Jesus, ^(A)perceiving the thought of their heart, took a ^(B)little child and set him by Him, ⁴⁸ and said to them, ^(C)“Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and ^(D)whoever receives Me ^(E)receives Him who sent Me. ^(F)For he who is least among you all will be great.”
