Exegesis

The prepositional phrase en te basileia ton ouranon {ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν | en tē̂ basileíā tō̂n ouranō̂n} ‘in the kingdom of the heavens’ specifies the divine sphere. The structure preserves the Greek relative and demonstrative emphasis while allowing smooth English flow.

In contextMatthew 18:4

Therefore, whoever will humble himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens.
