Focused Passage

Luke 12:1-3

Fear God, Confess Christ, Seek the Kingdom, and Be Ready

Luke moves from warning against hypocrisy to fearless confession, from greed exposed to kingdom trust, from anxiety corrected to watchful readiness, from faithful stewardship to divisive allegiance, and from interpreting weather signs to settling accounts before judgment.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1 In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

3 What you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.
