The disciples wanted to know who would be greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus answered by placing a child before them and teaching that unless they turned and became like children, they would never enter the kingdom.

The Tower of Babel is more than a childhood story about a tall tower and confused languages. Genesis 11:1–9 reveals the deadly pride of man: the desire to make a name for ourselves, live apart from dependence on God, and assert our will over His.
