The Little People, in the gospels, are often anonymous. Unlike the authorities and disciples, they cannot be considered a group character, because they are not connected to each other. Some are unobtrusive; others simply facilitate the action of an episode; others serve as catalysts. Some play a greater role, standing out for the quality of their faith and trust, or because they convey the meaning of service. Their role is important and memorable, and impacts strongly on the reader. I find the designation Little People much more attractive and engaging than Minor Characters. The encounters between Jesus and the Little People throughout the Gospel story reveal a great deal about Jesus himself and about the nature of genuine discipleship.
