* In that hour came , the disciples unto Jesus , saying Who then is , greatest , in the kingdom of the heavens ? * And , calling near a child , he set it in the midst of them , * and said Verily , I say unto you , Except ye turn and become as the children , in nowise , shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens . * Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child , the same , is the greatest , in the kingdom of the heavens ; * And , whosoever shall give welcome unto one such child as this , upon my name , unto me , giveth welcome . * And , whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones who believe in me , it profiteth him , that there be hung a large mill-stone about his neck , and he be sunk in the wide main of the sea . * Alas for the world ! by reason of the causes of stumbling ; for it is , necessary , that the causes of stumbling come , nevertheless , alas for the man through whom the cause of stumbling cometh ! * But , if , thy hand or thy foot , be causing thee to stumble , cut it off , and cast it from thee : It is , seemly for thee , to enter into life , maimed or lame , rather than , having two hands or two feet , to be cast into the age-abiding fire . * And , if , thine eye , causeth thee to stumble , pluck it out , and cast it from thee : It is , seemly , for thee , one-eyed , into life , to enter , rather than , having two eyes , to be cast into the fiery gehenna .
