The Test of Greatness

46 (A)An argument (a)started among them as to which of them might be the greatest. 47 But Jesus, (B)knowing (b)what they were thinking in their heart, took a child and stood him by His side, 48 and said to them, (C)Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; (D)for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great.”
