In biblical context, it reflects the idea that human actions and intentions, no matter how hidden, are fully visible to God. This aligns with passages like <a href="/hebrews/4-13.htm">Hebrews 4:13</a>, which states that nothing in creation is hidden from God's sight. Historically, this would resonate with a culture familiar with secrecy and hidden motives, especially in religious and political spheres. Theologically, it underscores the eventual revelation of truth, a theme prevalent in eschatological teachings where all will be revealed at the final judgment.<p><b>and nothing hidden that will not be made known</b><br>This continuation reinforces the certainty of divine revelation and judgment. It connects to the prophetic tradition where hidden truths are unveiled, as seen in <a href="/daniel/2-22.htm">Daniel 2:22</a>, which speaks of God revealing deep and hidden things. Culturally, this would challenge the Pharisees and religious leaders of the time, who often operated under a guise of righteousness. Theologically, it points to the ultimate justice of God, where all hidden sins and righteousness will be exposed. This phrase also serves as a warning and encouragement to live transparently before God, knowing that all will be brought to light.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The speaker of this verse, Jesus is addressing His disciples and the crowd, teaching them about the nature of truth and the coming judgment.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/d/disciples.htm">Disciples</a></b><br>The primary audience of Jesus' teachings in this chapter, they are being prepared for the challenges of spreading the Gospel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/pharisees.htm">Pharisees</a></b><br>Although not directly mentioned in this verse, the context of <a href="/bsb/luke/12.htm">Luke 12</a> includes Jesus' warnings against the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, which is relevant to the theme of hidden things being revealed.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_omniscience_of_god.htm">The Omniscience of God</a></b><br>God knows all things, and nothing is hidden from His sight.

The Greek conjunction cannot possibly have the meaning of "for," and the latter word suggests a logical connection which is different from that of the original. What our Lord seems to say is, "Beware ye of . . . hypocrisy . . .; but, whether ye beware or not, know that all that is now secret will one day be manifested." On the verse itself, see Note on <a href="/matthew/11-25.htm" title="At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.">Matthew 11:25</a>. The connection in the two passages is, however, very different. There the underlying thought of a future day of revelation (see <a href="/1_corinthians/4-5.htm" title="Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.">1Corinthians 4:5</a>) is made a motive to courage in proclaiming truths that had been received in secret; here as a motive to caution, lest we should be trusting in the counterfeits of truth and holiness. The force of the two Greek words would, perhaps, be better expressed by, <span class= "ital">There is nothing veiled that shall not be unveiled.</span><p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/12.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 2, 3.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">For there is nothing</span> <span class="cmt_word">covered, that shall not he revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known Therefore whatsoever ye</span> <span class="cmt_word">have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light</span>. The day would come when his estimate of this now popular teaching of the Pharisees would be found to have been correct. Its real nature, now hid, would be revealed and fully known and discredited; while, on the other hand, the words and teaching of his disciples, now listened to but by few, and those of seemingly little account, would become widely and generally known and listened to. <span class="cmt_word">Upon the housetops.</span> These were flat, terrace-like roofs, and, the houses generally being low, one who spoke from them would easily be heard in the street beneath. "These words have a strong Syrian colouring. The Syrian house-top (in <a href="/matthew/10-27.htm">Matthew 10:27</a> and here) presents an image which has no sense in Asia Minor, or Greece, or Italy, or even at Antioch. The fiat roofs cease at the mouth of the Orontes; Antioch itself has sloping roofs" (Renan, 'Les Evangiles,' p. 262, note 1). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/luke/12-2.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">[There]</span><br /><span class="grk">δὲ</span> <span class="translit">(de)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> </span><span class="str2">A primary particle; but, and, etc.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">is</span><br /><span class="grk">ἐστὶν</span> <span class="translit">(estin)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1510.htm">Strong's 1510: </a> </span><span class="str2">I am, exist.
