Ye

As prepared for those whose feet slip.

I am small and despised,
Yet I do not forget Your precepts.

And like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we should look upon Him,
Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him.

As christ

“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.

And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;

The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

“The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
