At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
