A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 12:26

"If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?" — Luke 12:26 (ASV)

Not able to do even that which is least (ουδε ελαχιστον δυνασθε). Negative ουδε in the condition of the first class. Elative superlative, very small. This verse not in Matthew and omitted in D. Verse 27 as in Mt 6:28, save that the verbs for toil and spin are plural in Matthew and singular here (neuter plural subject, τα κρινα).
