Lukas 12:7

7 Aber auch die Haare auf eurem Haupt sind alle gezählt. Darum fürchtet euch nicht; ihr seid besser denn 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, vor welchem ihr euch fürchten sollt: Fürchtet euch vor dem, der, nachdem er getötet hat, auch Macht hat, zu werfen in die Hölle. Ja, ich sage euch, vor dem fürchtet euch.

6 Verkauft man nicht fünf Sperlinge um zwei Pfennige? Dennoch ist vor Gott deren nicht eines vergessen.

7 Aber auch die Haare auf eurem Haupt sind alle gezählt. Darum fürchtet euch nicht; ihr seid besser denn viele Sperlinge.

8 Ich aber sage euch: Wer mich bekennet vor den Menschen, den wird auch des Menschen Sohn bekennen vor den Engeln Gottes.

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