Context

[12:28]  1 tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text.

[12:28]  2 tn Grk “grass in the field.”

[12:28]  3 tn Grk “which is in the field today.”

[12:28]  4 tn Grk “into the oven.” The expanded translation “into the fire to heat the oven” has been used to avoid misunderstanding; most items put into modern ovens are put there to be baked, not burned.

[12:28]  5 sn The phrase how much more is a typical form of rabbinic argumentation, from the lesser to the greater. If God cares for the little things, surely he will care for the more important things.
