Matthew 10:29

for. farthing. Greek. assarion. Compare Luke 12:6, "five sold for two assarions " is not the same; but the difference may arise from the market price, which varied from time to time. Deissmann tells us that. fragment of. papyrus was discovered at Aegira (in Achaea, on the Corinthian gulf), in 1899, containing part of. market tariff of Diocletian (third century, A.D.), showing that sparrows were sold in tens. The tariff fixed the maximum price of ten for sixteen denarii (about 31/2 d. Eng. In our Lord's day, therefore, the market value would be Neh. d. Eng.) See App-51.

of. from among Greek. ek.

on. Greek. epi.

without your Father: i.e. without His knowledge or will.
