Footnotes

  1. 55 The penny refers to an assarion, a small Roman copper coin. One of them was worth one-sixteenth of a denarius or less than a half hour’s average wage. Sparrows were the cheapest items sold in the market. God knows about even the most financially insignificant things; see Isa 49:15.
  2. 56 Or “to the ground without the knowledge and consent of your Father.”
