They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house, he began to ask them, "What were you arguing about on the way?" But they remained silent. For they had been discussing among themselves on the way who was the greatest. Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all." Taking a child, he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it, he said to them, "Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me."
Pamalandong:
Waya hisab’ti nan mga disciple ni
Jesus nan tag-susambingajan Nija sila na sa pagpahitaas, kinahanglan na manaog
anay; na sa pagpaka-bantugan, kinahanglan magpaka-mapahi’ubsanon; sanan sa
pagka-lider, kinahanglan na magsilbe.
Ugsa na nan nagkasamok ang mga
disciple mahitungod sa kon sin’oy pinaka-bantugan dila depuwes hindung’gan ni
Jesus an ila taghisgutan, nangasipog sila kay sajop man an ila pagsabot nan
pagka-bantugan.
Parehas ra ‘sab na kon ikompara
nato an ato kaugalingon sa iban’tawo kay gusto nato na dajigon kita, pero dili
nato makab’ot an ato kagustuhan, madismaya lamang kita.
Ugsa na sa paghimo ni Jesus nan
bata na pananglitan sa pagka-bantugan, didto nila nareyalisar na kinahanglan
baja gajud na magpaka-mapahi’ubsanon an tawo para makakab’ot nan tinood na pagka-bantugan
sa mga mata ni God.
