and 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.”
In context
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.” 49John spoke up: “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of our company.” 50Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him. Whoever is not against you is for you.”
