rwp - Matthew:10:29-31

rwp@Matthew:10:29 @{Two sparrows} (\duo strouthia\). Diminutive of \strouthos\ and means any small bird, sparrows in particular. They are sold today in the markets of Jerusalem and Jaffa. "For a farthing" (\assariou\) is genitive of price. Only here and strkjv@Luke:12:6| in the N.T. Diminutive form of the Roman _as_, slightly more than half an English penny. {Without your Father} (\aneu tou patros hmn\). There is comfort in this thought for us all. Our father who knows about the sparrows knows and cares about us.

rwp@Matthew:10:31 @{Than many sparrows} (\polln strouthin\). Ablative case of comparison with \diapherete\ (our differ).
