Luke 8:17 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 8:17

For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest,
&c.] Meaning, whatever was then wrapped up in parables and dark sayings, or was secretly, and in a private manner, committed to them, should be made manifest by them to others hereafter:

neither any thing hid, that shall not be made known, and come abroad;
for what had been whispered to them, in the most secret and silent manner, was to come abroad not only in Judea, but in all the world, and to be published upon the house tops; (See Gill on Matthew 10:26) (See Gill on Matthew 10:27)
