And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.
All Commentaries on Matthew 18:5 Go To Matthew 18
Jerome
AD 420
Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. Whoever lives so as to imitate Christ’s humility and innocence, in him Christ is taken up. And he is careful to add—so that when the apostles heard of it, they would not think that they had been honored—that they would not be taken up for their merit but for the honor of the master. .
