9 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

33So they came to Capernaum; and when he was indoors, he asked them, 'What were you arguing about on the way?' Who is the Greatest? Mk.9.33-37 (Capernaum) | Mt.18.1-5 | Lk.9.46-48Καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Καφαρναούμ. καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ γενόμενος ἐπηρώτα αὐτούς, Τί ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ διελογίζεσθὲ;
34They were silent, because on the way they had been discussing who was the greatest.  οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων, πρὸς ἀλλήλους γὰρ διελέχθησαν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τίς μείζων.
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.'  καὶ καθίσας ἐφώνησεν τοὺς δώδεκα καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, Εἴ τις θέλει πρῶτος εἶναι ἐσται πάντων ἐσχατος καὶ πάντων διάκονος.
36Then he took a child, set him in front of them, and put his arm round him.  καὶ λαβὼν παιδίον ἐστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὸ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς,
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.'
 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.
