But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest

At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;

Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread?

He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’

His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’

And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for your accent betrays you.”

And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.

and implored him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well and live.”

Taking her by the hand he said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”

But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet.

Temptations to Sin

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.

And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

But again he denied it. And after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them, for you are a Galilean.”

Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”

Jesus Rejoices in the Father's Will

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.

But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!

“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.

And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.”

Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.

So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.

Little children, yet a little while I am with you. You will seek me, and just as I said to the Jews, so now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’

Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.

Your Sorrow Will Turn into Joy

“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.”

So some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’ ?”

So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’ ? We do not know what he is talking about.”

Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’?

But a Pharisee in the council named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, stood up and gave orders to put the men outside for a little while.

Now when day came, there was no little disturbance among the soldiers over what had become of Peter.

And they remained no little time with the disciples.

About that time there arose no little disturbance concerning the Way.

For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen.

And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.

So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms. A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

As it is written, “Whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack.”

For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be ashamed.

Paul and the False Apostles

I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me!

Paul's Sufferings as an Apostle

I repeat, let no one think me foolish. But even if you do, accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!

A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

(No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.)

You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,

But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

For, “Yet a little while, and the coming one will come and will not delay;

yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Christ Our Advocate

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

I am writing to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.

Children of God

And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.

Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.

Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols.

“‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

The Angel and the Little Scroll

Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.

He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,

So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”

And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.

they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while.

and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
