1 EN aquel tiempo se llegaron los discípulos á Jesús, diciendo: ¿Quién es el mayor en el reino de los cielos?

2 Y llamando Jesús á un niño, le puso en medio de ellos,

3 Y dijo: De cierto os digo, que si no os volviereis, y fuereis como niños, no entraréis en el reino de los cielos.

5 Y cualquiera que recibiere á un tal niño en mi nombre, á mí recibe.
