Jesus spoke first to his followers, saying, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, because they are hypocrites. ² Everything that is hidden will be shown, and everything that is secret will be made known. ³ What you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in an inner room will be shouted from the housetops. ⁴ "I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of people who can kill the body but after that can do nothing more to hurt you. ⁵ I will show you the one to fear.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed,.... No sin, be it ever so secret or privately done, as nothing is more covered than hypocrisy, but what shall be detected sooner or later; if not in this world, which is often the case, yet the last judgment, and in the world to come:

neither hid, that shall not be known; for how careful soever men may be to hide their vices from others, they are known to God; who will bring every thing into judgment, and make manifest the secrets of all hearts. These were general sentences, which were used by Christ at different times, upon different occasions, and applied to particular cases; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Nothing covered - See the notes at Matthew 10:26-32.

Luke 12:3

Shall be proclaimed upon the housetops - See the notes at Matthew 10:27. The custom of making proclamation from the tops or roofs of houses still prevails in the East. Dr. Thomson (“The Land and the Book,” vol. i. p. 51, 52) says: “At the present day, local governors in country districts cause their commands thus to be published. Their proclamations are generally made in the evening, after the people have returned from their labors in the field. The public crier ascends the highest roof at hand, and lifts up his voice in a long-drawn call upon all faithful subjects to give ear and obey. He then proceeds to announce, in a set form, the will of their master, and demand obedience thereto.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 12:2. There is nothing covered — See the notes on Matthew 5:15; Matthew 10:26, Matthew 10:27; Mark 4:22.
