They started arguing over which of them would be most famous. When Jesus realized how much this mattered to them, he brought a child to his side. "Whoever accepts this child as if the child were me, accepts me," he said. "And whoever accepts me, accepts the One who sent me. You become great by accepting, not asserting. Your spirit, not your size, makes the difference."

Luke 9:46 - Additional Comments

Jesus (in vs 44) is trying to prepare them for what is about to take place. His heart is starting to grieve, but they didn't understand (vs 45). In fact, they seem to be practically ignoring Jesus, as shown by this weak dispute as to who would be the greatest.
