Luke 12:28

28 si autem faenum quod hodie in agro est et cras in clibanum mittitur Deus sic vestit quanto magis vos pusillae fidei

Luke 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).

Luke 12:28 In-Context

26 si ergo neque quod minimum est potestis quid de ceteris solliciti estis

27 considerate lilia quomodo crescunt non laborant non nent dico autem vobis nec Salomon in omni gloria sua vestiebatur sicut unum ex istis

28 si autem faenum quod hodie in agro est et cras in clibanum mittitur Deus sic vestit quanto magis vos pusillae fidei

29 et vos nolite quaerere quid manducetis aut quid bibatis et nolite in sublime tolli

30 haec enim omnia gentes mundi quaerunt Pater autem vester scit quoniam his indigetis
