Exegesis
The genitive singular henos tōn mikrōn toutōn {ἑνὸς τῶν μικρῶν τούτων | henos tōn mikrō̂n toútōn} ‘one of these little ones’ employs the partitive genitive to underscore individual inclusion within the vulnerable group.
The direct object to prosōpon tou patros mou {τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ πατρός μου | to prósōpon tou patrós mou} ‘the face of My Father’ evokes the biblical motif of favor and attentive presence.
The final genitive clause tou en ouranois {τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς | toû en ouranoîs} ‘who is in the heavens’ further specifies the heavenly identity of the Father, framing the guarantee of divine attention.
In context — Matthew 18:10
See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in the heavens always behold the face of My Father who is in the heavens.
