Luke 12:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings? - See this explained on Matthew 10:29 (note), from which place we learn that two sparrows were sold for one farthing, and here; that five were sold for two farthings: thus we find a certain proportion - for one farthing you could get but two, while for two farthings you could get five.
