1 Just then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, »Who ranks higher than others in the Kingdom of the Heavens?«

2 So He called a young child to Him, and, bidding him stand in the midst of them,

3 said, »In solemn truth I tell you that unless you turn and become like little children, you will in no case be admitted into the Kingdom of the Heavens.

4 Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this young child, he it is who is superior to others in the Kingdom of the Heavens.
