Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:1
This chapter is a well-organized sermon appropriately spoken by Jesus Christ shortly after he walked out of the Pharisee's house, which was attended by uncounted thousands of people. The scholarly allegation that "We have here a group of discourses loosely put together in a framework ascribed to Luke"[1] is superficial, unsustained by any valid argument, and contradicted, absolutely, by the logical arrangement and order of the sermon itself, as well as by its obvious and appropriate connection... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:2
But there is nothing covered up, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. Wherefore whatsoever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chamber shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.This had the effect of warning the Twelve that they should not be guilty of any dissimulation with regard to the Pharisees; but it goes far beyond that and points to the final judgment when all the secrets of men shall be exposed.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:4
And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.In this passage, "Jesus makes it clear that mortal life is by no means man's most valuable possession."[9] The body is not the real "I." Although I have a body, the body is not I. Men should learn, therefore, not to accord fear to men or any... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:6
Are not five sparrows sold for two pence? and not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.Matthew recorded Jesus' use of a variant of this same illustration (Matthew 10:29), "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?" and, as Boles said, "The variation in price depended on the number purchased."[13] If one purchased four, the fifth was thrown in. This affords an interesting sidelight on a commercial practice prevailing through the ages. For Benjamin Franklin's historic use of this thought,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:7
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not: ye are of more value than many sparrows.Like the preceding verse, this was spoken to encourage the Lord's followers not to be intimidated by the fulminations of the Pharisees. God's care of such members of his creation as these small birds is indeed a marvel to contemplate. When it is remembered that these tiny creatures have descended through countless thousands of years, unaided by men, and in fact destroyed by men, it is evident... read more
