'Little' in the Bible
Now if that is the way God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and thrown into an oven tomorrow, won't he clothe you much better you who have little faith?
He asked them, "Why are you afraid, you who have little faith?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
I tell all of you with certainty, whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple will never lose his reward."
"To what can I compare the people living today? They're like little children who sit in the marketplaces and shout to each other,
At once Jesus reached out his hand, caught him, and asked him, "You who have so little faith, why did you doubt?"
Knowing this, Jesus asked them, "You who have little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you don't have any bread?
Calling a little child forward, he had him stand among them.
Then he said, "I tell all of you with certainty, unless you change and become like little children, you will never get into the kingdom from heaven.
Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom from heaven,
and whoever receives a little child like this in my name receives me."
"If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a large millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned at the bottom of the sea.
"See to it that you do not despise one of these little ones, because I tell you, their angels in heaven always have access to my Father in heaven.
In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost."
Then some little children were brought to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
Jesus, however, said, "Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom from heaven belongs to people like these."
Going on a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed, "O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not what I want but what you want."
After a little while, the people who were standing there came up and told Peter, "Obviously you're also one of them, because your accent gives you away."
