Gospel : Matthew 18:1-5, 10, 12-14

1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"

2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them

3 and said, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

10 See that you don't despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

12 "What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn't he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?

13 If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.

14 Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

Ezekiel 2:8--3:4

2:8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you. Don't be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth, and eat that which I give you."

9 When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.

10 He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.

3:1 He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."

2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.

3 He said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your belly and your bowels with it."
Then I ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

4 He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
