Jesus Tells Who Is the Greatest
(Mk. 9:33-37; Lk. 9:46-48)
18 1At that time the followers came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven?" 2Jesus called a little child to come to him. Jesus stood
the child before the followers. 3Then Jesus said, "I tell you the truth. You must
change and become like little children [in your hearts]. If you don't do this, you
will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4The greatest (most important) person in
the kingdom of heaven is the person that makes himself humble like this child.
5"If a person accepts a little child like this in my name, then that person accepts
me.
Jesus Warns About Causes of Sin
(Mk. 9:42-48; Lk. 17:1-2)
6"If one of these little children believes in me, and another person causes that
child to sin, then it will be very bad for that person. It would be better for
that person to have a millstone* tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep
sea. 7I feel sorry for the people in the world because of the things that make
people sin. Those things must happen. But it will be very bad for the person that
causes those things to happen. 8"If your hand or your foot makes you sin, cut it
off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose part of your body but have
life forever. That is much better than to have two hands and two feet but be thrown
into the fire (hell) that burns forever. 9If your eye makes you sin, take it out
and throw it away. It is better for you to have only one eye but have life forever.
That is much better than to have two eyes but be thrown into the fire of hell. Jesus
Uses a Story About
a Lost Sheep
(Lk. 15:3-7)
10"Be careful. Don't think these little children are worth nothing. I tell you that
these children have angels in heaven. And those angels are always with my Father
in heaven. 11* 12"If a man has 100 sheep, but one of the sheep becomes lost, then
the man will leave the other 99 sheep on the hill. He will go to look for the lost
sheep. Right? 13And if the man finds the lost sheep, the man is happier about that
one sheep than about the 99 sheep that were never lost. I tell you the truth. 14In
the same way, your Father in heaven does not want any of these little children to
be lost.
Footnotes: millstone A large, round stone used for grinding grain. Verse 11 Some
Greek copies add verse 11: "The Son of Man came to save lost people."
