"At that time, the disciples came to JESUS and asked HIM, 'Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?'
Then JESUS called a little child, set the child in the midst of the disciples, and said, 'I assure you, that, unless you change, and become like little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble, like this child, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, and whoever receives such a child, in MY name, receives ME.'" -Matthew 18:1-5
(JESUS does not answer the apostles' question: Who is the greatest? Because what matters is not to become great, but to be close to CHRIST. In order to receive CHRIST, we must welcome HIM in the person of the little ones.)
