Commentary on Matthew 6:27

Theological / Devotional

Which of you? This is the second illustration of the principle stated in v. 25 (see on v. 26). Compare Luke 12:25.

Thought. That is, anxious thought (see on v. 25).

Stature. Gr. helikia, which may indicate either “age” or “stature.” Helikia is translated “age” in John 9:23; Heb. 11:11; etc., and “stature” in Luke 19:3; etc. Whether Christ spoke of an increase in height or in length of life is not certain.
