This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
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 Luk 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 hūmōn). There is comfort in this thought for us all. Our father who knows about the sparrows knows and cares about us.
