Exegesis
The phrase héna tôn mikrōn toútōn {ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων | héna tôn mikrōn toútōn} “one of these little ones” is then elaborated by the genitive participle pisteuóntōn eis emé {πιστευόντων εἰς ἐμέ | pisteuóntōn eis emé}, “to believe in Me,” linking their identity to faith in Jesus.
In context — Matthew 18:6
But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a donkey’s millstone be fastened around his neck, and that he be sunk in the depths of the sea.
