Mark 9:42

But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe (trust) in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
[The expression "these little ones" refers to the same people who are called "children" in verses 36-37. In addition to children and others in a dependent position, this refers to newly saved and immature Christians who have not yet had time to grow in their faith. The man in verse 38 whom the disciples wanted to stop should have been encouraged in his faith rather than stopped with harsh criticism. Jesus shows the seriousness of leading any of these little ones astray so that they lose their faith. Being drowned with a millstone describes a quick death without burial. The millstone referred to is the larger model powered by a donkey, not the smaller hand-powered one, see Luke 17:35. This cautionary example must have been particularly vivid for the disciples, as they were in Capernaum next to the Sea of Galilee, see verse 33. The Jewish historian Josephus describes how followers of Herod were drowned here during a Jewish uprising about 60 years earlier.]
