Matthew 18:2

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

3 “Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
