But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. The comprehensive divine knowledge of the disciples extends to the number of their hairs — the most trivial detail of personal physicality, changing daily, unknown even to the disciples themselves. The Father who numbers the hairs of the disciples' heads is the Father who cannot be caught off guard by whatever happens to them. The point is not that the Father prevents every bad thing (sparrows do fall) but that nothing happens outside his knowledge and purpose.
