Luke 12:3

3 Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight. Whatever you have whispered in private rooms will be shouted from the housetops.

Luke 12:3 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:3

Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness
In the most private manner, to one another:

shall be heard in the light;
which makes all things manifest, the day shall declare it:

and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets;
whispered to persons in their bedchambers, and places of the most secret retirement;

shall be proclaimed upon the housetops;
declared in the most public manner: in ( Matthew 10:27 ) these words are so expressed, as to carry in them such a sense as this; that what was told the disciples by Christ, in the most private place and way, should be published by them, in the most free and open manner; (See Gill on Matthew 10:27).

Luke 12:3 In-Context

1 Meanwhile, thousands of people had gathered. They were so crowded that they stepped on each other. Jesus spoke to his disciples and said, "Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees. I'm talking about their hypocrisy.
2 Nothing has been covered that will not be exposed. Whatever is secret will be made known.
3 Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight. Whatever you have whispered in private rooms will be shouted from the housetops.
4 "My friends, I can guarantee that you don't need to be afraid of those who kill the body. After that they can't do anything more.
5 I'll show you the one you should be afraid of. Be afraid of the one who has the power to throw you into hell after killing you. I'm warning you to be afraid of him.
