Exegesis
The apodosis eme dechetai {ἐμὲ δέχεται | emé dékhetai} asserts the identifying result: receiving the lowly child equates to receiving Jesus Himself. In translation, the relative-general condition is rendered as “whoever receives/welcomes,” and “in My name” is maintained to convey allegiance, culminating in the mutual reception of Jesus.
In context — Matthew 18:5
And anyone who receives one such child in My name receives Me .
