Contextual Overview

1 In the mean time thousands of people being gather'd about him, so as to trample upon one another, he first address'd himself thus to his disciples, beware of the corrupt doctrine of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 for there is nothing conceal'd, which shall not be disclos'd; nothing secret, which shall not be made publick. 3 whatever you have utter'd in the dark, shall be brought to light: and what you have whisper'd in a closet, shall be proclaim'd upon the house top. 4 As for you, my friends, be not afraid of those, who can kill the body, and after that can effect nothing more. 5 but I will inform you whom you should fear: fear him, who after he has kill'd, has power to precipitate into hell; yes, I advise you, fear him. 6 are not five sparrows sold for two pence? however the divine providence extends to each of them. 7 nay, the very hairs of your head can't fall without being number'd: be not then afraid; there is no comparison between you and sparrows. 8 moreover I declare unto you, whoever shall acknowledge me before men, him shall the son of man also own before the angels of God. 9 but whoever shall renounce me before men, he shall be renounc'd before the angels of God. 10 and whoever shall cast a reflection upon the son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but as for him, that shall blaspheme the holy spirit, it shall not be forgiven.

fear not those who can only kill the body, but cannot hurt the soul: rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For the Holy Ghost shall teach you,.... Shall give both words and matter: in the same hour; instantly, immediately:

what ye ought to say; what will be proper to be said, for the honour of Christ, the defence of the Gospel, and the confusion of enemies; :-.
