saying,
Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said,
Verily I say unto you,
Except ye be converted,
and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself
as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive
one such little child in my name receiveth me.

nor of the will of man,
but of God.

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb,

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
