Lukas 12:7

7 Aber selbst die Haare eures Hauptes sind alle gezählt. So fürchtet euch nun nicht; ihr seid vorzüglicher als viele Sperlinge.

Lukas 12:7 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:7

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered,
&c.] Not only their persons had passed under the hands of him that telleth them, who is the "Palmoni", or "wonderful numberer", as in the margin of ( Daniel 8:13 ) and not only the several members of their bodies, or the more substantial parts of them, were written in the book of his purposes, according to which they were fashioned in time, but the more minute parts, and less to be regarded, were all told over, and kept in account; even the very hairs of their head, and not one of them could fall to the ground, any more than a sparrow; or be plucked off by men, without the knowledge and will of God; so careful is the providence of God, of all his people:

fear not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows;
for if the hairs of their heads are as much regarded as sparrows, their persons and their lives must be of more account, than an infinite number of them, nor are they to be mentioned with them.

Lukas 12:7 In-Context

5 Ich will euch aber zeigen, wen ihr fürchten sollt: Fürchtet den, der nach dem Töten Gewalt hat, in die Hölle zu werfen; ja, sage ich euch, diesen fürchtet.

6 Werden nicht fünf Sperlinge um zwei Pfennig verkauft? Und nicht einer von ihnen ist vor Gott vergessen.

7 Aber selbst die Haare eures Hauptes sind alle gezählt. So fürchtet euch nun nicht; ihr seid vorzüglicher als viele Sperlinge.

8 Ich sage euch aber: Jeder, der irgend mich vor den Menschen bekennen wird, den wird auch der Sohn des Menschen vor den Engeln Gottes bekennen;

9 wer aber mich vor den Menschen verleugnet haben wird, der wird vor den Engeln Gottes verleugnet werden.
