9 ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΡΚΟΝ Mark Reference
Καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Καφαρναούμ. καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ γενόμενος ἐπηρώτα αὐτούς, Τί ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ διελογίζεσθὲ; And they came to Caper'na-um; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you discussing on the way?"Who is the Greatest? Mk.9.33-37 | Mt.18.1-5 | Lk.9.46-48
οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων, πρὸς ἀλλήλους γὰρ διελέχθησαν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τίς μείζων. But they were silent; for on the way they had discussed with one another who was the greatest. 
καὶ καθίσας ἐφώνησεν τοὺς δώδεκα καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Εἴ τις θέλει πρῶτος εἶναι ἐσται πάντων ἐσχατος καὶ πάντων διάκονος. And he sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all." 
καὶ λαβὼν παιδίον ἐστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὸ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, And he took a child, and put him in the midst of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them, 
Ὃς ἂν ἓν τῶν τοιούτων παιδίων δέξηται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται· καὶ ὃς ἂν ἐμὲ δέχηται, οὐκ ἐμὲ δέχεται ἀλλὰ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με. "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me."
