4.2 The First Must Be The Servant

(Mark 9:33-37)

They came to Capernaum, and after going indoors Jesus asked him disciples, “What were you arguing about on the road?”

But they would not answer him, because on the road they had been arguing among themselves about who was the greatest. Jesus sat down, called the twelve disciples, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must place himself last of all and be the servant of all.” Then he took a child and had him stand in front of them. He put his arms around him and said to them, “Whoever welcomes in my name one of these children, welcome me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomed not only me but also the one who sent me.”
