Mattityahu 18:1-6 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. At that time, the talmidim approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with this she'elah saying, Who then is greatest in the Malchut HaShomayim?

2. And having called a yeled to himself, he set him before them,

3. and said, Omein, I say to you, unless you change inwardly and have a complete turn around and become like yeladim, you shall never enter the Malchut HaShomayim.

4. Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this yeled, he is the greatest in the Malchut HaShomayim.

5. And whoever receives one such yeled in my Name receives me [Moshiach].

6. But whoever causes a michshol (stumbling block) for one of these little ones, who have emunah in me, it is better for him that a heavy millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea.
