30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.



31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.



32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.



Ver. 32. Fear not, little flock] Gr. little, little flock. There is in the original a double diminutive. If we divide the known parts of the world into three equal parts, the Christians’ part is but as five, the Mahometans’ as six, and the idolaters’ as nineteen. Among the best Churches, the most are the worst, as Php_3:18. Chrysostom could not find a hundred in Antioch that he could be well persuaded that they should be saved.
