Jesus Tells How One May Become G


Leaving Caesarea Philippi, Jesus and his disciples passed through

Galilee; but he wished no one to know of this, for he was teaching his

disciples. He said to them, "The Son of Man will be betrayed and men

will put him to death, but in three days he will rise from the dead."

But they did not understand his meaning and were afraid to ask.



When they had reached Capernaum and were in the house, he asked them,

"What were you arguing about on the way?" But they made no reply, for

they had been disputing on the way about which of them was greatest.

Sitting down, he called the twelve disciples, and said, "If any one

wishes to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all." Then he

took a little child and set him by his side and with his arm around him

said to them, "Whoever receives a little child like this in my name,

receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not only me, but God who

sent me."
