Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness, etc.] 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 (<401027>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 “<401027>Matthew 10:27”).
