Our Gospel Lesson comes from Mark 9:30-37

They went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to

know it; 31 for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is

to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after

being killed, he will rise again.” 32 But they did not understand what he was

saying and were afraid to ask him.

33 Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them,

“What were you arguing about on the way?” 34 But they were silent, for on the

way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. 35 He sat down,

called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of

all and servant of all.” 36 Then he took a little child and put it among them; and

taking it in his arms, he said to them, 37 “Whoever welcomes one such child in

my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the

one who sent me.”
