Who Is the Greatest

Tyndale New Testament

Mat 18:1–5

1 The same tyme the disciples came vnto Iesus saying: who is the greatest in the kyngdome of heven?
2 Iesus called a chylde vnto him and set him in the middes of them:
3 and sayd. Verely I say vnto you: except ye tourne and become as chyldren ye cannot enter into the kyngdom of heven.
4 Whosoever therfore humble him sylfe as this chylde the same is the greatest in the kyngdome of heven.
5 And whosoever receaveth suche a chylde in my name receaveth me.

33 And he came to Capernaum. And when he was come to housse he axed the: what was it that ye disputed bytwene you by the waye?
34 And they helde their peace: for by the waye they reasoned amonge the selves who shuld be the chefest.
35 And he sate doune and called the twelve vnto him and sayd to them: yf eny man desyre to be fyrst the same shalbe last of all and servaunt vnto all.
36 And he toke a chylde and set him in the middes of them and toke him in his armes and sayde vnto them.
37 Whosoever receave eny soche a chylde in my name receaveth me. And whosoever receaveth me receaveth not me but him that sent me.

46 Then ther arose a disputacion amonge the: who shuld be the greatest.
47 When Iesus perceaved the thoughtes of their hertes he toke a chylde and set him hard by him
48 and sayd vnto the: Whosoever receaveth this chylde in my name receaveth me. And whosoever receaveth me receaveth him that sent me. For he that is least amonge you all the same shalbe greate.
