# Connecting Statement:
Jesus finishes instructing his disciples about what they should do and expect when they go to preach.
# Whoever gives
"Anyone who gives"
# one of these little ones
"one of these lowly ones" or "the least important of these." The phrase "one of these" here refers to one of Jesus' disciples.
# because he is a disciple
"because he is my disciple." Here "he" does not refer to the one giving but to the unimportant one.
# truly I say to you
"I tell you the truth." This phrase adds emphasis to what Jesus says next.
# he will ... his reward
Here "he" and "his" refer to the one who is giving.
# he will in no way lose
"God will not deny him." This has nothing to do with having a possession taken away. It can be stated in positive form. AT: "God will certainly give him"
