Luke 9:46 in Context — Luke 9

44 Pour vous, écoutez bien ceci:Le Fils de l’homme doit être livré entre les mains des hommes.

45 Mais les disciples ne comprenaient pas cette parole; elle était voilée pour eux, afin qu’ils n’en eussent pas le sens; et ils craignaient de l’interroger à ce sujet.

46 Or, une pensée leur vint à l’esprit, savoir lequel d’entre eux était le plus grand.

47 Jésus, voyant la pensée de leur cœur, prit un petit enfant, le plaça près de lui,

48 et leur dit: Quiconque reçoit en mon nom ce petit enfant me reçoit moi-même;et quiconque me reçoit reçoit celui qui m’a envoyé.Car celui qui est le plus petit parmi vous tous, c’est celui-là qui est grand.
