'Little' in the Bible

And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe -- not much more you, O ye of little faith?

And he saith to them, 'Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?' Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm;

and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.'

'And to what shall I liken this generation? it is like little children in market-places, sitting and calling to their comrades,

And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, 'Little faith! for what didst thou waver?'

and he answering said, 'It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.'

And she said, 'Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;'

And Jesus saith to them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven, and a few little fishes.'

And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?

and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.

Beware! -- ye may not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, that their messengers in the heavens do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens,

so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.

And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and saying, 'My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou.'

And after a little those standing near having come, said to Peter, 'Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech doth make thee manifest.'

And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,

And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon him,

and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him.

and he was calling upon him much, saying -- 'My little daughter is at the last extremity -- that having come, thou mayest lay on her thy hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;'

and he said to them, 'Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,' for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

for a woman having heard about him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet, --

And Jesus said to her, 'Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the little dogs.'

And she answered and saith to him, 'Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children's crumbs.'

and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea.

And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth, and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from him,

and he was again denying. And after a little again, those standing near said to Peter, 'Truly thou art of them, for thou also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;'

and having entered into one of the boats, that was Simon's, he asked him to put back a little from the land, and having sat down, was teaching the multitudes out of the boat.

and not having found by what way they may bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the house-top, through the tiles they let him down, with the little couch, into the midst before Jesus,

And that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority upon the earth to forgive sins -- (he said to the one struck with palsy) -- I say to thee, Arise, and having taken up thy little couch, be going on to thy house.'

therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven, because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven, little he doth love.'

and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you -- ye of little faith?

'Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble.

and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of God as a little child, may not enter into it.'

and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.

And after a little, another having seen him, said, 'And thou art of them!' and Peter said, 'Man, I am not.'

Philip answered him, 'Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;'

There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these -- what are they to so many?'

and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little boat there except one -- that into which his disciples entered -- and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the little boat, but his disciples went away alone,

(and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks),

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;

Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say it now.

yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye behold me, because I live, and ye shall live;

a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.'

Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?'

they said then, 'What is this he saith -- the little while? we have not known what he saith.'

Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

and the other disciples came by the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but as it were about two hundred cubits off, dragging the net of the fishes;

but a certain one, having risen up in the sanhedrim -- a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honoured by all the people -- commanded to put the apostles forth a little,

And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,

and they abode there not a little time with the disciples.

there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question,

And there came, at that time, not a little stir about the way,

for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the artificers gain not a little,

And Agrippa said unto Paul, 'In a little thou dost persuade me to become a Christian!'

and Paul said, 'I would have wished to God, both in a little, and in much, not only thee, but also all those hearing me to-day, to become such as I also am -- except these bonds.'

and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,

and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.

and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,

and to me it is for a very little thing that by you I may be judged, or by man's day, but not even myself do I judge,

Not good is your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven?

according as it hath been written, 'He who did gather much, had nothing over; and he who did gather little, had no lack.'

O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly, but ye also do bear with me:

Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, even as a fool receive me, that I also a little may boast.

my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you,

a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven;

for the bodily exercise is unto little profit, and the piety is to all things profitable, a promise having of the life that now is, and of that which is coming;

no longer be drinking water, but a little wine be using, because of thy stomach and of thine often infirmities;

Thou didst make him some little less than messengers, with glory and honour Thou didst crown him, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands,

and him who was made some little less than messengers we see -- Jesus -- because of the suffering of the death, with glory and honour having been crowned, that by the grace of God for every one he might taste of death.

for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry;

so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle!

who do not know the thing of the morrow; for what is your life? for it is a vapour that is appearing for a little, and then is vanishing;

in which ye are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in manifold trials,

And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you;

My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one,

I write to you, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you through his name;

I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who is from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye have known the Father:

Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many -- whence we know that it is the last hour;

And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed before him, in his presence;

Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous,

My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

Ye -- of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world.

Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.

I have known thy works; lo, I have set before thee a door -- opened, and no one is able to shut it, because thou hast a little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my name;

and there was given to each one white robes, and it was said to them that they may rest themselves yet a little time, till may be fulfilled also their fellow-servants and their brethren, who are about to be killed -- even as they.

and he had in his hand a little scroll opened, and he did place his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the land,

And the voice that I heard out of the heaven is again speaking with me, and saying, 'Go, take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the messenger who hath been standing upon the sea, and upon the land:'

and I went away unto the messenger, saying to him, 'Give me the little scroll;' and he saith to me, 'Take, and eat it up, and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet -- as honey.'

And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and did eat it up, and it was in my mouth as honey -- sweet, and when I did eat it -- my belly was made bitter;

because of this be glad, ye heavens, and those in them who do tabernacle; woe to those inhabiting the land and the sea, because the Devil did go down unto you, having great wrath, having known that he hath little time.'

and there are seven kings, the five did fall, and the one is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it behoveth him to remain a little time;

and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these it behoveth him to be loosed a little time.
