- Who Should Be Greatest -

Matt 17:22-18:14 • Mark 09:30-50 • Luke 09:43-50 • John

¶ And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man
should know it. • And while they abode in Galilee, • he taught his disciples, • [a]nd they were all
amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered everyone at all things which Jesus did, •

Jeus said • unto his disciples, Let these sayings sink down into your ears: [F]or the Son of man shall be
{delivered / betrayed} into the hands of men: And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be
raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. • But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from

and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece

What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? But they held their peace: [F]or by the way

they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. And he sat down, and • Jesus,
perceiveing the thought of their heart, • called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be
first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. •

¶ A[t] the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom

of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, • and set him by him • in the midst of them, • and
when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, • Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted,
