Matthew 18:10

See that you do not despise (look down on, think badly of) any of these little ones. [Jesus had called a child to him, see verse 2, and now uses it in his practical teaching as an image for a disciple of Jesus.] I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my heavenly Father (they are always in his presence)."
[It was a common Jewish belief that every person had a guardian angel. The Bible does not say much about this, but Matthew's Jewish readers probably understood this verse in that way. What we do know is that angels stand before God, see Luke 1:19. The Father sees his children and will not tolerate anyone leading them astray.]
