  Mt 18:1: Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ προσῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ τῷ Ἰησοῦ λέγοντες· Τίς ἄρα μείζων ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν; Mk 9:34: οἱ δὲ ἐσιώπων· πρὸς ἀλλήλους γὰρ διελέχθησαν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τίς μείζων. Lk 9:46: Εἰσῆλθεν δὲ διαλογισμὸς ἐν αὐτοῖς, τὸ τίς ἂν εἴη μείζων αὐτῶν.  
 

Mt 18:2: Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος παιδίον

Mk 9:36: Καὶ λαβὼν παιδίον

Lk 9:47: ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἰδὼς τὸν διαλογισμὸν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, ἐπιλαβόμενος παιδίον

 
  ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐναγκαλισάμενος αὐτὸ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἔστησεν αὐτὸ παρ᾽ ἑαυτῷ

Lk 9:48: καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς·

 
 

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

Mk 9:37: Ὃς ἂν ἓν τῶν τοιούτων παιδίων δέξηται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται·

Ὃς ἐὰν δέξηται τοῦτο τὸ παιδίον ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται·  
Mt 10:40: Ὁ δεχόμενος ὑμᾶς ἐμὲ δέχεται, καὶ ἐμὲ δεχόμενος δέχεται τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με.   καὶ ὃς ἂν ἐμὲ δέχηται, οὐκ ἐμὲ δέχεται ἀλλὰ τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με.¶
καὶ ὃς ἂν ἐμὲ δέξηται, δέχεται τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με· ὁ γὰρ μικρότερος ἐν πᾶσιν ὑμῖν ὑπάρχων οὗτός ἐστιν μέγας.¶
Jn 13:20: ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὁ λαμβάνων ἄν τινα πέμψω ἐμὲ λαμβάνει, δὲ ἐμὲ λαμβάνων λαμβάνει τὸν πέμψαντά με.¶

 

Mt10 Mt Mk Lk Jn
  Mt 18:1: In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is [the] greatest in the kingdom of the heavens?” Mk 9:34: And they were silent, for along the road they had been discussing with one another which [was] greatest. Lk 9:46: And an argument came up among them, which of them might be greatest.  
 

Mt 18:2: And having summoned a child,

Mk 9:36: And having taken a child,

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

 
  He set it in their midst, He set it in [the] midst of them; and having taken it in [His] arms, He said to them, set it by Him,

Lk 9:48: and He said to them,

 
 

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

Mk 9:37: “Whoever shall receive one of such little children in My name, receives Me;

“Whoever shall receive this child in My name, receives Me;  
Mt 10:40: The [One] receiving you receives Me, and the [one] receiving Me receives the [One] having sent Me.   and whoever shall receive Me, does not receive Me, but the [One] having sent Me.” and whoever shall receive Me, receives the [One] having sent Me. For the [one] being least among you all, he shall be great.” Jn 13:20: Truly, truly, I say to you, the [one] receiving whomever I shall send, receives Me; and the [one] receiving Me, receives the [One] having sent Me.”

 

 


(A discussion arose about) who was the greatest.

Jesus took a little child and placed it next to him.

He said: “Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me.”
