Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 32. - Parallel passage: Luke 12:30. Save in reading "but" instead of the second "for," Luke's seems the more original. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek;) for your heavenly Father knoweth, etc. The Revised Version removes the marks of parenthesis. For...for; these are probably co-ordinate, and adduce two reasons for our not being for one moment anxious about earthly things: (1) it is like the heathen (cf. the thought of Matthew 5:47); (2) your Father knows your need of them. Heavenly (Matthew 5:16, note). Knoweth (ver. 8, note).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(32) After all these things do the Gentiles seek.--The tone is one of pity rather than of censure, though it appeals, not without a touch of gentle rebuke (as before in Matthew 6:5) to the national pride of Israelites: "You look down upon the heathen nations, and think of yourselves as God's people, yet in what do you excel them, if you seek only what they are seeking?"For your heavenly Father knoweth . . .--The bearing of this teaching on the meaning of the "daily bread" of the Lord's Prayer has already been noticed (comp. Note on Matthew 6:11). The outer life of man, and its accidents, may well be left to the wisdom of the All-knowing. It lies below the region of true prayer, or occupies an altogether subordinate place within it.
