Luke 12:1-3

Expanded Bible

Don’t Be Like the Pharisees^(A)

12 [^LMeanwhile] So many thousands of people had gathered that they were ·stepping [trampling] on each other. Jesus began to speak first to his ·followers [disciples], saying, “Beware of the ·yeast [leaven] of the Pharisees, ·because they are hypocrites [^Lwhich is hypocrisy; ^Cthe evil influence of the Pharisees was like yeast that would grow and affect everything around it; Mark 8:14–21]. ² Everything that is ·hidden [concealed; covered up] will be ·shown [revealed; uncovered; disclosed], and everything that is ·secret [hidden] 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 [or behind closed doors] will be ·shouted [proclaimed] from the housetops.
