Commentary

Commentary on Matthew 10:29

Theological / Devotional

Sparrows. Gr. strouthia, meaning any small birds, though especially used of sparrows. Small, wild birds are commonly sold in Oriental markets today.

Farthing. Gr. assarion, a diminutive derived from the Latin as, 1/16 of a denarius, that is, 1/16 of one day’s wage of an ordinary laborer (see p. 49).

Fall on the ground. In the parallel passage in Luke it is stated that “not one of them is forgotten before God” (ch. 12:6).

Without your Father. That is, without God’s taking notice of it. If He takes notice of the injury or death of a sparrow, how much more must the injury or death of His own sons and daughters mean to Him!
