Bible Commentary for Luke 12:27

Wesley's Notes for Luke 12:27


12:25 Which of you can add the least measure - It seems, to add one cubit to a thing (which is the phrase in the original) was a kind of proverbial expression for making the least addition to it.

12:28 The grass - The Greek word means all sorts of herbs and flowers.

12:29 Neither be ye of a doubtful mind - The word in the original signifies, any speculations or musings in which the mind fluctuates, or is suspended (like meteors in the air) in an uneasy hesitation.
