'Little Child' in the Bible

I assure you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

But Jesus, knowing the thoughts of their hearts, took a little child and had him stand next to Him.

He told them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me. For whoever is least among you—this one is great.”

Jesus, however, invited them: “Let the little children come to Me, and don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

I assure you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
