The Holy Gospel According to Matthew   18: 1-5, 10, 12-14

18:1 In that hour, the disciples drew near to Jesus, saying, “Whom do you consider to be greater in the kingdom of heaven?”
18:2 And Jesus, calling to himself a little child, placed him in their midst.
18:3 And he said: “Amen I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
18:4 Therefore, whoever will have humbled himself like this little child, such a one is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
18:5 And whoever shall accept one such little child in my name, accepts me.
18:10 See to it that you do not despise even one of these little ones. For I say to you, that their Angels in heaven continually look upon the face of my Father, who is in heaven.
18:12 How does it seem to you? If someone has one hundred sheep, and if one of them has gone astray, should he not leave behind the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go out to seek what has gone astray?
18:13 And if he should happen to find it: Amen I say to you, that he has more joy over that one, than over the ninety-nine which did not go astray.
18:14 Even so, it is not the will before your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should be lost.
