Jesus Welcomes Even Infants
Commentators highlight that Luke specifically uses the Greek word for "infants" or "babes" (brephe), unlike the other Gospels which use a more general term for "children." This emphasizes that even the very youngest, those incapable of understanding or service, were brought to Jesus, illustrating that no one is too young or insignificant to be welcomed by Christ.
