→Chapter 13
|Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
|Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
|Truly, truly I say to you, he who receives those who I send, receives Me; and whoever receives me, receives Him who sent Me."
|Truly, truly I say to you, he who receives those who I send, receives Me; and whoever receives me, receives Him who sent Me."

|This is a difficult one to translate properly. In this context, λαμβάνω means something deeper than merely "accepting" someone, but the idea of "receiving" them is not something that is familiar to the modern reader. The idea here is more about accepting and receiving them into your heart and home, so that you now become their follower, and learn all that they have to give. This isn't something that we have a modern parallel for, so the translation is difficult to relate accurately.
