Luke: 9

46A dispute arose among them: which of them was the greatest? 47Jesus knew what was passing in their minds, so he took a child by the hand and stood him at his side, 48and said, 'Whoever receives this child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives the One who sent me. For the least among you all-he is the greatest.'

Matthew: 18
|
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, 'Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?' 2He called a child, set him in front of them, 3and said, 'I tell you this: unless you turn round and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. 4Let a man humble himself till he is like this child, and he will be the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. 5Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. |

Mark: 9

33So they came to Capernaum; and when he was indoors, he asked them, 'What were you arguing about on the way?' 34They were silent, because on the way they had been discussing who was the greatest. 35He sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, 'If anyone wants to be first, he must make himself last of all and servant of all.' 36Then he took a child, set him in front of them, and put his arm round him. 37'Whoever receives one of these children in my name', he said, 'receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.'
