*The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.*
and said to them, *Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.*
Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me.*

Therefore he who rejects this doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
