Why
Matthew 6:25
That is why I say to you, Do not be anxious about your life here--what you can get to eat or drink; nor yet about your body-- what you can get to wear. Is not life more than food, and the body than its clothing?
Matthew 10:10
Not even with a bag for the journey, or a change of clothes, or sandals, or even a staff; for the worker is worth his food.
Luke 3:11
"Let the man who has two coats," answered John, "share with him who has none; and the man who has food do the same."
Luke 22:35
Then he said to them all: "When I sent you out as my Messengers, without either purse, or bag, or sandals, were you in need of anything?" "No; nothing," they answered.
The lilies
Luke 12:27
Think of the lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin; yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendor was not robed like one of these.
