Luke 1232

Luke 12:32 is a verse from the New Testament of the Christian Bible, specifically from the Gospel of Luke. The verse reads, "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom." (NIV). In Hebrew, this verse can be translated as "אל תיראו, רועה קטן, כי ה' נטה אליכם את המלכות" (transliteration: "Al tir'ahu, ro'eh katan, ki Adonai nata elachem et hamamlakha"). In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, it is written as "Μη φοβεισθε, ποιμαντιον μικρον, οτι ευδοκεσεν ο πατηρ υμων να δω υμιν την βασιλειαν" (transliteration: "Mē phobeisthe, poimantiion mikron, hoti eudokēsen ho patēr hymōn na dō hymin tēn basileian"). This verse is part of Jesus' teachings to his disciples, encouraging them not to fear but to trust in God's provision. The context involves Jesus addressing his followers, often referred to as the "little flock," and assuring them of God's care and the promise of the kingdom. This passage is significant in Christian theology as it emphasizes trust in God's providence and the assurance of divine favor.
