¹就在那時刻，門徒來到耶穌跟前說：「在天國裡究竟誰是最大的？」

¹At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?

²耶穌就叫一個小孩來，使他站在他們中間，

²And Jesus calling unto him a little child, set him in the midst of them,

³說：「我實在告訴你們：你們若不變成如同小孩一樣，你們決不能進入天國。

³And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁰你們小心，不要輕視這些小子中的一個，因為我告訴你們：他們的天使在天上，常見我在天之父的面。

¹⁰See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

¹²「你們以為如何？如果一個人有一百隻羊，其中一隻迷失了路，他豈不把那九十九隻留在山上，而去尋找那隻迷失了路的嗎？

¹²What think you? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray: doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the mountains, and go to seek that which is gone astray?

¹³如果他幸運找著了，我實在告訴你們：他為這一隻，比為那九十九隻沒有迷路的，更覺歡喜；

¹³And if it so be that he find it: Amen I say to you, he rejoiceth more for that, than for the ninety-nine that went not astray.

¹⁴同樣，使這些小子中的一個喪亡，決不是你們在天之父的意願。」

¹⁴Even so it is not the will of your Father, who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish
