An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side and said to them, “Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”(Luke 9:46-48 ESV)
Jesus is so patient with us. Rather than yelling at the disciples for their arrogant arguing, He shows them the problem - they are focusing too much on themselves and not on others, like these children who are watching their bickering. In short, the greatest in HIS kingdom is the one who is most like Him. There is nothing else to discuss.
