^26 (A)Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

²⁹ Are not two ^(A)sparrows sold for a ^[a]copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. ^30 (B)But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹ Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

²⁴ Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and ^(A)God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? ²⁵ And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? ²⁶ If you then are not able to do the least, why ^[a]are you anxious for the rest? ²⁷ Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even ^(B)Solomon in all his glory was not ^[b]arrayed like one of these. ²⁸ If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of ^(C)little faith?

²⁹ “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. ³⁰ For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father ^(D)knows that you need these things. ^31 (E)But seek ^[c]the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

³² “Do not fear, little flock, for ^(F)it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

⁶ “Are not five sparrows sold for two ^[a]copper coins? And ^(A)not one of them is forgotten before God. ⁷ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

³² For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
