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.

49 Jean prit la parole, et dit: Maître, nous avons vu un homme qui chasse des démons en ton nom; et nous l’en avons empêché, parce qu’il ne nous suit pas.

50 Ne l’en empêchez pas, lui répondit Jésus; carqui n’est pas contre vous est pour vous.
