The Question About Who Is Greatest

47 But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, took a little child and had him stand next to Him. 48 He told them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me. For whoever is least among you—this one is great.” 49 John responded, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him because he does not follow us.”
