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 Y yo os digo, amigos míos: no temáis a los que matan el cuerpo, y después de esto no tienen más nada que puedan hacer.
5 Pero yo os mostraré a quién debéis temer: temed al que, después de matar, tiene poder para arrojar al infierno ; sí, os digo: a éste, ¡temed!
6 ¿No se venden cinco pajarillos por dos cuartos ? Y sin embargo, ni uno de ellos está olvidado ante Dios.
7 Es más, aun los cabellos de vuestra cabeza están todos contados. No temáis; vosotros valéis más que muchos pajarillos.
8 Y os digo, que a todo el que me confiese delante de los hombres, el Hijo del Hombre le confesará también ante los ángeles de Dios;
