Who Is The Greatest In The Kingdom Of Heaven?

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, (the disciples)
And said,



Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea . . .


Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.





~Matthew 17~


Dictionary Note: The definition of despise used in this parable is to, loathe, to scorn, to look down upon with contempt, to sniff, to turn the nose up at, etc.
