In context
44“Let these words sink into your ears: the Son of Man is about to be handed over into human hands.” 45But they did not grasp what he said; its meaning was veiled from them so that they could not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about it. 46An argument started among them about which of them was the greatest. 47Jesus, knowing the argument in their hearts, took a small child and stood him at his side, 48and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me; for the one who is least among you all — that is the one who is great.”
