1 About this time the disciples came to Jesus and asked him who would be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
2 Jesus called for a child to come over and stand near him.
3 Then he said:I promise you this. If you don't change and become like a child, you will never get into the kingdom of heaven.
4 But if you are as humble as this child, you are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And when you welcome one of these children because of me, you welcome me.
6 It will be terrible for people who cause even one of my little followers to sin. Those people would be better off thrown into the deepest part of the ocean with a heavy stone tied around their necks!
