Jesus and Little Children

Mt 18:2: Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος παιδίον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν

Mt 18:3: καὶ εἶπεν· Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐὰν μὴ στραφῆτε καὶ γένησθε ὡς τὰ παιδία, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν.

…

Mt 18:5: καὶ ὃς ἐὰν δέξηται ἓν παιδίον τοιοῦτο ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται.¶

…

Mk 9:36: Καὶ λαβὼν παιδίον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὸ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς·

Mk 9:37: Ὃς ἂν ἓν τῶν τοιούτων παιδίων δέξηται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται· καὶ ὃς ἂν ἐμὲ δέχηται, οὐκ ἐμὲ δέχεται ἀλλὰ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με.¶

Lk 9:47: ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἰδὼς τὸν διαλογισμὸν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, ἐπιλαβόμενος παιδίον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ παρ᾽ ἑαυτῷ

Lk 9:48: καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ὃς ἐὰν δέξηται τοῦτο τὸ παιδίον ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται· καὶ ὃς ἂν ἐμὲ δέξηται, δέχεται τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με· ὁ γὰρ μικρότερος ἐν πᾶσιν ὑμῖν ὑπάρχων οὗτός ἐστιν μέγας.¶

Mt 18:2: And having summoned a child, He set it in their midst,

Mt 18:3: and said, “Truly I say to you, if you are not converted and become as the little children, you shall never enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

…

Mt 18:5: And whoever shall receive one such little child in My name, receives Me.

…

Mk 9:36: And having taken a child, He set it in [the] midst of them; and having taken it in [His] arms, He said to them,

Mk 9:37: “Whoever shall receive one of such little children in My name, receives Me; and whoever shall receive Me, does not receive Me, but the [One] having sent Me.”

Lk 9:47: But Jesus, having known the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set it by Him,

Lk 9:48: and He said to them, “Whoever shall receive this child in My name, receives Me; and whoever shall receive Me, receives the [One] having sent Me. For the [one] being least among you all, he shall be great.”
