Luke 12
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? 7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Jesus here talks of two kinds of spies - that of the Pharisees and Jesus' own spies. Why the sparrow is because it is seemingly harmless and they are everywhere thus they are not out of place. So they can be wolves under the sheep skin. The requisite for a good spy is to me multi-lingual. Citizens who understand many languages makes for good spies. James Bond can be stealth only in the West, not as effective in the East because he is not asian. The Chinese can be good spies because they are everywhere in the world. Filipinos can also be good spies. I mean who would think a Filipino is a spy?
