Luke 12:29

Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition

Don't keep worrying about having something to eat or drink.

See the chapter Copy

Don't worry and ask yourselves, “Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?”

Jesus asked his disciples, “When I sent you out without a moneybag or a traveling bag or sandals, did you need anything?” “No!” they answered.

Jesus said to his disciples: I tell you not to worry about your life! Don't worry about having something to eat or wear.

Only people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father knows what you need.

If you don't have power over small things, why worry about everything else?
