Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not (l) me, but him that sent me.
(l) He not only receives me, but also him that sent me.
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not (l) me, but him that sent me.
(l) He not only receives me, but also him that sent me.
