Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. The Father's comprehensive knowledge and care extends to sparrows — birds of minimal economic value (two for a penny). Not one falls without the Father's knowing. Luke 12:6 has five sparrows for two pennies — the fifth is thrown in free, yet the Father knows even that one. The argument is again a fortiori: if the Father's knowledge and care extends to sparrows of such low economic value, the disciples of far greater value are certainly within the Father's comprehensive attention.
