Jesus Christ » History of » Reproves the ambition of his disciples (at capernaum)
And he came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house, he asked them, What did you dispute about on the way? And they were silent; for they had disputed with each other on the way as to who was the greatest.

And taking a little child, he put it in the midst of them, and taking it in his arms, said to them, Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me, but him that sent me. And John spoke to him, saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him. And Jesus said, Forbid him not; for no one will perform a mighty work in my name, and be able lightly to speak evil of me. For whoever is not against us is for us; and whoever gives you a cup of water because you are Christ's, truly he shall not lose his reward. And whoever shall offend one of the little ones having faith, it would be better for him if a millstone was put about his neck and he was cast into the sea. And if your hand offends you, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two hands to go away into hell, into the inextinguishable fire. (Added verse not retained in Sawyer) And if your foot offends you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell. (Added verse not retained in Sawyer) And if your eye offends you, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell, where the worm dies not and the fire is not extinguished. For every man shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good; but if the salt has become insipid, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.

And there arose a debate among them, which of them should be the greatest. And Jesus perceiving the debate in their minds, took a little child and set it by him, and said to them, Whoever receives this little child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives him that sent me. For he that is least among you all, he shall be the greatest. read more.
