9:32	And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, “What did you discuss on the way?”
9:33	But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.
9:34	And sitting down, he called the twelve, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be the last of all and the minister of all.”
9:35	And taking a child, he set him in their midst. And when he had embraced him, he said to them:
9:36	“Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me.”
9:37	John responded to him by saying, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; he does not follow us, and so we prohibited him.”
9:38	But Jesus said: “Do not prohibit him. For there is no one who can act with virtue in my name and soon speak evil about me.
