Is not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you as he that serveth.

And taking a little child, he set him in the midst of them, and embracing him he said to them, Whosoever shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not only me, but him that sent me. And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. And Jesus said, Forbid him not; for there is no one who shall do a miracle in my name, who can readily speak evil of me. For he that is not against you, is for you. For whosoever shall give you a cup of cold water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say to you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. And whosoever shall offend one of the little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is good for thee, to enter into the kingdom of God having one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell-fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
