When he had called a little child to him, Jesus set him among them, and answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that unless you turn and become like little children, you will not even enter the kingdom of heaven. "Whoever therefore will humble himself like this little child, is greatest in the kingdom of heaven; read more.
"and whoever receives one such child for my sake, receives me. "But whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung about his neck, and he were drowned in the depths of the sea. "Woe unto the world because of such stumbling-blocks! They will surely come, but woe unto each man by whom they come! "If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, than to keep both hands or both feet and be cast into the everlasting burning. "If your eye keeps causing you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with only one eye, than to keep both eyes and be cast into the Gehenna of fire. "See to it that you never despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father in heaven.
