Lucas 12:30

30 Esas cosas dominan el pensamiento de los incrédulos en todo el mundo, pero su Padre ya conoce sus necesidades.

Lucas 12:30 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:30

For all these things do the nations of the world seek
after
That is, the Gentiles, as in ( Matthew 6:32 ) who are frequently, in the Jewish writings, called, in distinction from the Jews, (Mlweh twmwa) , "the nations of the world" ^F19. This is an argument used to dissuade from an immediate and anxious concern for food and raiment, because it is Heathenish, and therefore very unbecoming the disciples and followers of Christ: it need not be wondered at in those that know not God, and do not acknowledge his providence, and are strangers to his covenant and promises; but must be very unsuitable to the characters of such who know that godliness has the promise of this life, and of that which is to come:

and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things;
and therefore it is needless to be so anxious about them: the Persic version reads, "all these things", and so some copies; that is, meat, drink, and clothing, all the necessaries of life; (See Gill on Matthew 6:32).

Lucas 12:30 In-Context

28 Y, si Dios cuida de manera tan maravillosa a las flores que hoy están y mañana se echan al fuego, tengan por seguro que cuidará de ustedes. ¿Por qué tienen tan poca fe?

29 »No se inquieten por lo que van a comer o lo que van a beber. No se preocupen por esas cosas.

30 Esas cosas dominan el pensamiento de los incrédulos en todo el mundo, pero su Padre ya conoce sus necesidades.

31 Busquen el reino de Dios por encima de todo lo demás, y él les dará todo lo que necesiten.

32 »Así que no se preocupe, pequeño rebaño. Pues al Padre le da mucha felicidad entregarles el reino.
