How to be the best

Mat 18:1–5

Luke 9:46–48

9:33 How to be the best

(Mat. 18:1-5, Luke 9:46-48)

33Then they went Capernaum and when they arrived at the house, Yeshua asked them what they were discussing on the way.

34[ref]But they didn’t reply because while they were walking, they had been talking about which of them is the best. 35[ref]So Yeshua sat down and called the twelve of them and explained, “Anyone who wants to be at the top, has to be at the bottom and help all the others. 36Then Yeshua called a young boy and stood him in the middle of them, and giving him a hug said, 37[ref]Whoever welcomes young children on my behalf, welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me is not actually welcoming me, but welcoming the one who sent me here.


18:1 Who is the greatest?

(Mark 9:33-37, Luke 9:46-48)

18[ref]Around that time his apprentices approached Yeshua and asked him, “So who will be the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?”

2Yeshua called in a small child and stood the child in the middle of the room 3[ref]and said, “I can assure you all that if you don’t turn and become like a small child, you all certainly won’t enter the kingdom of the heavens, 4so anyone who humbles themself like this small child is greater in the kingdom of the heavens. 5Anyone who receives a small child like this in my name, is receiving me,


9:46 Who is the greatest?

(Mark 9:33-37, Mat. 18:1-5)

46[ref]Then the apprentices got themselves into a discussion about which of them might hopefully be considered the greatest. 47But Yeshua knew what was going on, so he took a young child and stood the child there next to him 48[ref]and told them, “Anyone who accepts a young child in my name is accepting me, and anyone who accepts me is accepted by the one who sent me here. Because it’s the person who is the least among you who’s at the top.
