Jerome, on Matt 18:1

“At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying: Who thinkest thou is the greater in the kingdom of heaven?”

“For whoever is such that he imitates Christ’s humility and innocence, Christ is received by him; and by way of caution, that the Apostles should not think, when such are come to them, that it is to themselves that the honour is paid, He adds, that they are to be received not for their own desert, but in honour of their Master.”
