Communitarian instruction
18 1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked him: 
 —Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2Then Jesus called a little child, set the child in the midst of the disciples, 3and said: 
—I assure you that unless you change and become like little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Whoever becomes lowly like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, 5and whoever receives such a child in my name receives me.

19 1When Jesus had finished this teaching, he left Galilee and arrived at the border of Judea, on the other side of the Jordan River. 2A great crowd was with him and there, too, he healed their sick.
