Matthew 18:5
In my name (epi tw onomati mou). For "one such little child" (any believer in Christ) Luke (Luke 9:48) has "this little child" as a representative or symbol. "On the basis or ground of my name," "for my sake." Very much like eiv onoma in Matthew 10:41 which does not differ greatly from en onomati (Acts 10:48).
