Lucas 12:28

28 Se, pois, Deus assim veste a erva que hoje está no campo e amanhã é lançada no forno, quanto mais vós, homens de pouca fé?

Lucas 12:28 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:28

If then God so clothe the grass
lilies and tulips; for they are no other than grass, weak, frail, fading, short lived flowers, which have all their gaiety and beauty from the great Creator of them:

which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the
oven:
the grass is one day in the field, in all its verdure, glory, and beauty; and being cut down before evening, the next day it is withered and dried, and made fit to put into an oven, or under a furnace to heat them with:

how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
The Persic version renders the words, "how much more excellent are ye than that, O ye of little faith?" they are more excellent in their nature, and of a longer duration, and are designed for greater ends and purposes; and therefore if God clothes the one in such a manner as he does, how much more will he not clothe the other? and such who are distrustful and diffident in this matter, may well be called men of little faith; (See Gill on Matthew 6:30).

Lucas 12:28 In-Context

26 Porquanto, se não podeis fazer nem as coisas mínimas, por que estais ansiosos pelas outras?

27 Considerai os lírios, como crescem; não trabalham, nem fiam; contudo vos digo que nem mesmo Salomão, em toda a sua glória, se vestiu como um deles.

28 Se, pois, Deus assim veste a erva que hoje está no campo e amanhã é lançada no forno, quanto mais vós, homens de pouca fé?

29 Não procureis, pois, o que haveis de comer, ou o que haveis de beber, e não andeis preocupados.

30 Porque a todas estas coisas os povos do mundo procuram; mas vosso Pai sabe que precisais delas.
