Commenting on Luke 12:1-12
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings,.... As two were sold for one farthing; see Gill on Mat 10:29; so in buying and selling, where more money is laid out, things are bought cheaper; the Persic version reads, "for two barley corns": and not one of them is forgotten before God; a single sparrow, a bird of little value and worth, is taken notice...
Verses 2-9. . Also . Verse 6. (1) "farthings"
