Luke 12:2

King James Bible

"For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known."

Commentary

Jesus declares the inevitability of all secrets coming to light, using 'covered' as a metaphor for concealment. In the context of Luke 12, this warns against the Pharisees' hypocrisy while encouraging disciples that truth will ultimately prevail despite opposition. This parallel phrase reinforces the totality of divine disclosure through synonymous language typical of Hebrew poetry. The passive voice ('shall not be known') implies God's sovereign role in bringing hidden things into open knowledge, whether at judgment or through earthly exposure.
