But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, "Allow the little children to come to me. Do not forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43 But it is not so among you; but whoever desireth to become great among you, will be your minister;
But it will not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.
44 and whoever of you desireth to become first, will be servant of all;
And whoever wants to be first among you must be slave of all.
