¹ At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who, thinkest thou, is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?

² And Jesus, calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them.

³ And said: amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

⁴ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.

⁵ And he that shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me.

¹⁰ See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

¹² What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and goeth to seek that which is gone astray?

¹³ And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.

¹⁴ Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
