“And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,”
Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and had him stand beside him — the awareness of the unspoken thoughts is the same as in the paralytic scene (5:22). The child taken and placed beside Jesus is the object lesson for the greatness teaching — the child representing the socially powerless, those who cannot confer status.
