'Little Child' in the Bible

"But to what can I compare the leaders of this age? They are like little children sitting in the market places and calling to their fellows in the game,

At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for concealing these matters from wise and learned men, and for revealing them to little children.

And He called a little child to Him, and had him stand in the midst of them,

and said: "I solemnly say to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you can never get into the kingdom of heaven at all.

So then, whoever becomes as lowly as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven,

and whoever welcomes one little child like this for my sake welcomes me.

"Be careful not to look with scorn on a single one of these little children, for I tell you that in heaven their angels have uninterrupted access to my Father in heaven.

After that some little children were brought to Him, for Him to lay His hands on them and pray for them, but His disciples reproved those who brought them.

But Jesus said, "Let the little children alone, and stop preventing them from coming to me, for to such as these the kingdom of heaven belongs."

and asked Him, "Do you hear what they are saying?" Jesus answered them, "Yes. Did you never read this, 'Out of the mouths of little children, yea, of infants, you have perfect praise'?"

Then He took a little child and had him stand in the midst of them; then He took him in His arms, and said to them,

"Whoever, as a disciple of mine, welcomes one little child like this, welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me, welcomes not merely me but Him who sent me."

And people were bringing little children to Him for Him to touch them, but the disciples reproved them for it.

When Jesus saw it, He was indignant, and said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them from it, for to such as these the kingdom of God belongs.

I solemnly say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God as a little child does, will never get into it at all."

Then He took the little children into His arms, and as He laid His hands upon them one by one, He tenderly blessed them.

They are like little children sitting in the market-place and calling to their fellows in the game: "'We played the wedding march for you, but you did not dance. We sang the funeral dirge, but you did not mourn.'

But Jesus, as He knew that the controversy was going on in their hearts, took a little child and had it stand by His side.

Then He said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child on my account is welcoming me, and whoever welcomes me is welcoming Him who sent me; for the one who is lowliest among you all is really great."

At that very moment, by the power of the Holy Spirit, He exulted and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for concealing these matters from wise and learned men, and for revealing them to little children. Yes, Father, I thank you that your good pleasure made it so.

But Jesus called them to Him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and stop preventing them from it, for to such as these the kingdom of God belongs.

I solemnly say to you, Whoever does not accept the kingdom of God as a little child does, will never get into it at all."

Instead we were little children among you; we were like a mother nursing her children.

I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have conquered the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.

Little children, it is the last hour, just as you have heard that Antichrist is Coming, and already many Antichrists have appeared; so we may be sure that it is the last hour.
