Look at the birds of the air: for they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
And take of all food that is eaten, and you shall gather it; and it shall be for food for you, and for them.
Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?
Who provides for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of food.
He gives to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
I know all the birds of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son asks for bread, he will give him a stone?
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there will I store all my fruits and my goods.
