8 And G2532 into G1519 whatsoever G1161 G3739 G302 city G4172 ye enter, G1525 and G2532 they receive G1209 you, G5209 eat such things G2068 as are set before G3908 you: G5213
G1161 If any G1536 of them that believe not G571 bid G2564 you G5209 to a feast, and G2532 ye be disposed G2309 to go; G4198 whatsoever G3956 is set before G3908 you, G5213 eat, G2068 asking G350 no G3367 question G350 for G1223 conscience G4893 sake. G1223
He that receiveth G1209 you G5209 receiveth G1209 me, G1691 and G2532 he that receiveth G1209 me G1691 receiveth G1209 him that sent G649 me. G3165
And G2532 said G2036 unto them, G846 Whosoever G3739 G1437 shall receive G1209 this G5124 child G3813 in G1909 my G3450 name G3686 receiveth G1209 me: G1691 and G2532 whosoever G3739 G1437 shall receive G1209 me G1691 receiveth him G1209 that sent G649 me: G3165 for G1063 he that is G5225 least G3398 among G1722 you G5213 all, G3956 the same G3778 shall be G2071 great.
