Luke 12:3
Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
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".
