Luke 12 — Context

26

If, then, you are not able to do even that which is least, why are you troubled about the rest?

27

Give thought to the flowers: they do no work, they make no thread; and still I say to you, Even Solomon, in all his glory, was not clothed like one of these.

28

But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

29

And do not give overmuch thought to your food and drink, and let not your mind be full of doubts.

30

For the nations of the world go in search of all these things: but your Father has knowledge that you have need of them.

31

But let your chief care be for his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you in addition.

32

Have no fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
