1In that hour the disciples came near to Jesus, saying, Which therefore is great in the kingdom of the heavens?2And after he had called a child, he set it in their midst.3And he said, Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like the children, you will never enter the kingdom of the heavens.4Therefore whoever humbles himself like this child, this one is the great one in the kingdom of the heavens.5And whoever receives one such child upon my name receives me.6But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a huge millstone be hung around his neck and that he be drowned in the sea.7Woe to the world because of the stumbling blocks, for it is necessary that the stumbling blocks come, yet woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes.8If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you; it is good for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into the eternal fire.9And if your eye causes you to stumble, take it out and throw it away from you; it is good for you to enter life one-eyed than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of Gehenna.
