Luke 9:46-53 American Standard Version (ASV)

46. And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.

47. But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,

48. and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.

49. And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

50. But Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against you is for you.

51. And it came to pass, when the days were well-nigh come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,

52. and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

53. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.
