Matthew 18:1-4

Questions About the Greatest

18:1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 18:2 He called a child, had him stand among them, 18:3 and said, “I tell you the truth,¹ unless you turn around and become like little children,² you will never³ enter the kingdom of heaven! 18:4 Whoever then humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:23

Context

The Parable of the Unforgiving Slave

18:23 “For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves.⁴

¹tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

²sn The point of the comparison become like little children has more to do with a child’s trusting spirit, as well as willingness to be dependent and receive from others, than any inherent humility the child might possess.

³tn The negation in Greek (οὐ μή, ou mh) is very strong here.

⁴tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.
