Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are you better than the fowls?
All Commentaries on Luke 12:24 Go To Luke 12
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Observe, that when God has once given a soul, it abides the same, but the body istaking growth daily. Passing over then the soul as not receiving increase, he makes mention only of the body, giving us to understand that it is not increased by food alone, but by the Divine Providence, from the fact that no one by receiving nourishment can add any thing tohis stature. It is therefore concluded, If you then be not able to do that thing which is least, take no thought for the rest.
