Holman Christian Standard Bible
A Cup of Cold Water
40 “The one who welcomes you welcomes Me,(A) and the one who welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me.(B) 41 Anyone who[a] welcomes a prophet(C) because he is a prophet[b] will receive a prophet’s reward. And anyone who[c] welcomes a righteous person because he’s righteous[d] will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And whoever gives(D) just a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple[e](E)—I assure you: He will never lose his reward!”
In Praise of John the Baptist
11 When Jesus had finished giving orders to His 12 disciples, He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.(F)

40 “Anyone who receives you receives me, and anyone who receives me receives the Father who sent me. 41 If you receive a prophet as one who speaks for God,[a] you will be given the same reward as a prophet. And if you receive righteous people because of their righteousness, you will be given a reward like theirs. 42 And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.”
