Took a little child ( epilabomenos paidion ).

Second aorist middle participle of the common verb epilambanō . Strictly, Taking a little child to himself (indirect middle). Mar 9:36 has merely the active labōn of the simple verb lambanō . Set him by his side (estēsen auto par' heautōi ). "In his arms"Mar 9:36 has it, "in the midst of them"Mat 18:3 says. All three attitudes following one another (the disciples probably in a circle around Jesus anyhow) and now the little child (Peter’ s child?) was slipped down by the side of Jesus as he gave the disciples an object lesson in humility which they sorely needed.

Vincent: Luk 9:47 - -- He took a little child ( ἐπιλαβόμενος παιδίου ) Strictly, having laid hold of.

He took a little child ( ἐπιλαβόμενος παιδίου )

Strictly, having laid hold of.

Vincent: Luk 9:47 - -- By him ( παῤ ἑαυτῷ ) Lit., by himself. Mark alone record the taking him in his arms.

By him ( παῤ ἑαυτῷ )

Lit., by himself. Mark alone record the taking him in his arms.

Ver. 46-48. See Poole on "Mat 18:1" , and following verses to Mat 18:6 . See Poole on "Mar 9:33" , and following verses to Mar 9:37 . This paragraph showeth what need there was of the preceding discourse, that our Saviour should prepare them with a preinforming them about his suffering, that when they saw it their faith in him as the Messiah might not fail; for they were possessed with the common notion of their country, that the Messiah should deliver them from the temporal pressures which they were under, and exercise a civil or military secular power; this made them think of places of priority and greatness, about which we often find them disputing. Our Lord, to bring them off that false notion of him and his kingdom, taketh a child, and setteth him before them, and saith, Whosoever shall receive this child, &c. What Luke saith must be interpreted by what we had before in Matthew and Mark. This child, that is, one that is as humble as this child, &c.: see the notes before mentioned.

Gill: Luk 9:47 - -- And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart,.... Not by any words he had heard; for the dispute was on the road, as they came along behind him; bu...

And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart,.... Not by any words he had heard; for the dispute was on the road, as they came along behind him; but as the omniscient God, who is the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart, he was privy to all their ambition, and the vanity of their minds, and to all their reasonings and debates: though he was before them, and out of the reach of hearing of them: and when he came to Capernaum, after having asked them what they disputed about by the way;

he took a child and set him by him. The Ethiopic version reads, "before them", the disciples; and Matthew and Mark say, "he set him in the midst of them"; all which were true, Jesus sitting in the midst of them; so, that the child he set by him, was in the middle of them and before them; See Gill on Mat 18:2.
