Lucas 12:6

6 Não se vendem cinco passarinhos por dois asses? E nenhum deles está esquecido diante de Deus.

Lucas 12:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:6

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings
As two were sold for one farthing, (See Gill on Matthew 10:29); so in buying and selling, where more money is laid out, things are bought cheaper; the Persic version reads, "for two barley corns":

and not one of them is forgotten before God;
a single sparrow, a bird of little value and worth, is taken notice and care of by him; it has its life from him, and is provided for with food by him, and is under his protection; nor does he ever forget it, nor can any thing be done to it, without his permission; it cannot be struck, so as to cause it to fall on the ground, or be taken in a snare, or be killed in any shape, without the knowledge of God: his providence reaches to the minutest creatures and things, and much more then to rational creatures, to men; and still more to his dear children, ministers, and apostles.

Lucas 12:6 In-Context

4 Digo-vos, amigos meus: Não temais os que matam o corpo, e depois disso nada mais podem fazer.

5 Mas eu vos mostrarei a quem é que deveis temer; temei aquele que, depois de matar, tem poder para lançar no inferno; sim, digo, a esse temei.

6 Não se vendem cinco passarinhos por dois asses? E nenhum deles está esquecido diante de Deus.

7 Mas até os cabelos da vossa cabeça estão todos contados. Não temais, pois mais valeis vós do que muitos passarinhos.

8 E digo-vos que todo aquele que me confessar diante dos homens, também o Filho do homem o confessará diante dos anjos de Deus;
