Luke 9:47-49

Lexham English Bible

⁴⁷ But Jesus, because he^[a] knew the thoughts of their hearts, took hold of a child and had him stand beside him ⁴⁸ and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For the one who is least among you all—this one is great.”
