42: Jesus here is offering an illustration of how God the Father rewards us. The Father sees all that we do. A cup of could water would have been thought of in that day as one of the smallest, or least valuable, gifts that could be offered to another. Also, seeing that Christ is greater than his disciples, using a disciple’s name would also lessen the reward. However, in spite of the smallness of the offering, the Father will take notice and reward it because of the connection with his Son.
