‏ Matthew 18:2

 Called to him ( προσκαλεσαμενος ). Indirect middle voice aorist participle. It may even be Peter's "little child" ( παιδιον ) as it was probably in Peter's house (Mr 9:33).

 Set him ( εστησεν ). Transitive first aorist active indicative, not intransitive second aorist,  εστη.

 In the midst of them ( εν μεσω αυτων ). Luke adds (Lu 9:47) "by his side" ( παρ' εαυτω ). Both are true.
