12:6Aren’t five sparrows sold for two pennies?18 Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

Read in Logos
Luke 12:6: Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God.

Footnotes

  1. 18 The pennies refer to the 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 thing sold in the market. God knows about even the most financially insignificant things; see Isa 49:15.
