1. In that hour, the disciples drew near to Jesus, saying, "Whom do you consider to be greater in the kingdom of heaven?"
2. And Jesus, calling to himself a little child, placed him in their midst.
3. And he said: "Amen I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4. Therefore, whoever will have humbled himself like this little child, such a one is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5. And whoever shall accept one such little child in my name, accepts me.
6. But whoever will have led astray one of these little ones, who trust in me, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck, and to be submerged in the depths of the sea.
7. Woe to a world that leads people astray! Although it is necessary for temptations to arise, nevertheless: Woe to that man through whom temptation arises!
