Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Who is the greatest of them all?

Later he arrived in Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?” But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest.  And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” Then he took a little child and set him in front of all of them. And when he had taken him in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever receives such a child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.  Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.  I tell you truly, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not be able to enter it.”
