Whoever receives one of such little children on My name receives Me. And whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but the One having sent Me.
See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in Heaven continually look on the face of My Father in Heaven.
And answering, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, In so far as you did it to one of these, the least of My brothers, you did it to Me.
And taking a little child, He set it in their midst, and having embraced it, He said to them,
The one hearing you hears Me, and the one rejecting you also rejects Me, and the one rejecting Me also rejects the One having sent Me.
and said to them, Whoever receives this child on My name receives Me. And whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For the one being least among you all, this one shall be great.
I and the Father are One!
Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone I may send, the one who receives that one receives Me; and the one receiving Me receives the One having sent Me.
so that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The one not honoring the Son does not honor the Father who has sent Him.
Therefore, the one that despises does not despise man, but God, even the One giving His Holy Spirit to us.
