t they understood
not this saying; and it was concealed from them, that they might not
perceive it; and they feared to ask him concerning this saying.

4 [9:46]And there arose a debate among them, which of them should be
the greatest. [9:47]And Jesus perceiving the debate in their minds,
took a little child and set it by him, [9:48]and said to them, Whoever
receives this little child in my name, receives me; and whoever
receives me, receives him that sent me. For he that is least among you
all, he shall be the greatest. [9:49]And John answered and said,
Master, we saw one casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him,
because he follows not with us. [9:50]And Jesus said to him, Forbid
him not; for whoever is not against us is for us.
