Luke 12:6

Context
12:6 Aren’t five sparrows sold for two pennies? 1  Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

1 sn The pennies refer to the assarion, a small Roman copper coin. One of them was worth one sixteenth of a denarius or less than a half hour’s average wage. Sparrows were the cheapest thing sold in the market. God knows about even the most financially insignificant things; see Isa 49:15.
