34 But they kept silent, for on the road they had adisputed among themselves who would be the bgreatest.
35 And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, a“If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”
36 Then aHe took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them,
37 “Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and awhoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.”
Jesus Forbids Sectarianism
38 aNow John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”
39 But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, afor no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me.
