Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them,
3 and said, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 Whoever therefore will humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
5 Whoever will receive one such little child in my name receives me,
6 but whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.
7 Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling! For it must be that the occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes!
8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.
