< Matthew 18 >
1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
ⲁ̅⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲓϣϯ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲉⲧⲟⲩⲣⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
2 He called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,

3 and said, "Truly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
