Who Is the Greatest? (MRK 9:33-37)

[9:33] And they came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

[9:34] But they kept silent, for on the way they had argued with one another about who was the greatest.

[9:35] And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”

[9:36] And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,

[9:37] “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.”
