17<\/strong> .<\/em> For nothing is secret<\/em> ] This verse, like the parallel (which occurs in a different connexion in Mat 10:26<\/span>), is usually quoted of the discovery of secret crimes. The truth which would in that case be illustrated is often mentioned elsewhere<\/em> in Scripture (1Co 4:5<\/span>), but here in both instances the context shews that the first meaning of Christ was entirely different from this. He is not thinking of the discovery of crimes, but of the right use and further dissemination of divine light. The truths now revealed privately to them, and only dimly shadowed forth to others, should soon be flashed over all the world. Parables first yielded their full significance to the disciples, but found “a springing and germinant fulfilment in every age.”<\/p>\n Luk 8:17<\/span><\/p>\n Far nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest<\/em><\/p>\n The paradox<\/strong><\/p>\n Nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest, etc.<\/p>\n , that is to say, There is now absolutely no light or truth veiled from men which it is not the intention and purpose of God to uncover and reveal to them as soon as they are able to receive it; nor was there ever, at any time, anything hidden from them which it was not for their good to hide from them for the time, and which was not disclosed to them so soon as it was for their good that the disclosure should be made. We have in this axiom and paradox–<\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> The very charter of science. <\/p>\n 2.<\/strong> A warrant for all honest inquiry. <\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> A solid ground for hope. (S. Cox, D. D.<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Secret things made visible in due time<\/strong><\/p>\n Dr. Draper, in his History of the Conflict between Religion and Science, says: A shadow never falls upon a wall without leaving thereupon a permanent trace, a trace which might be made visible by resorting to proper processes. The portraits of our friends or landscape views may be hidden on the sensitive surface from the eye, but they are ready to make their appearance as soon as proper developers are resorted to. Upon the wails of our apartments there exist the vestiges of all our acts, silhouettes of whatever we have done. I have seen landscapes and architectural views, taken in Mexico, developed, as artists say, months subsequently in New York, the images coming out after the long voyage in all their proper forms and in all their contrast of light and shade. The photo had forgotten nothing. It had signally preserved the contour of the everlasting mountains and the passing smoke of a bandit fire. (Christian Journal.<\/em>)<\/p>\n Verse 17<\/span>.

Meaning, whatever was then wrapped up in parables and dark sayings, or was secretly, and in a private manner, committed to them, should be made manifest by them to others hereafter:<\/p>\n neither any thing hid, that shall not be made known, and come abroad<\/strong>; for what had been whispered to them, in the most secret and silent manner, was to come abroad not only in Judea, but in all the world, and to be published upon the house tops; [See comments on Mt 10:26]<\/span> [See comments on Mt 10:27]<\/span><\/p>\n That shall not be known <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>). Peculiar to Luke. First aorist passive subjunctive of <\/SPAN><\/span> with the strong double negative <\/SPAN><\/span>. See on Mr 4:22<\/span> for discussion of <\/SPAN><\/span> and <\/SPAN><\/span>. <\/P><\/p>\n Nothing is secret – manifest. Correctly rendered in A.

And nothing of Christ’s teaching is secret, even when told in parables, Mat 10:6<\/span>; Mat 10:27<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2) “That shall not be made manifest;” <\/strong>(ho ou phaneron genesetai) “Which will not be uncovered, disclosed, or become manifest,” open for examination, scrutiny, evaluation, or judgment, Rom 14:11-12<\/span>; Mat 12:36<\/span>.<\/p>\n 3) “Neither any thing hid,” <\/strong>(oude apokruphon) “Nor any secret,” covered by, or hidden behind a veil,” Act 17:30-31<\/span>; Rom 2:16<\/span>; Rom 14:10<\/span>.

In Mat. 10:26<\/span> (where see Note) it forms part of the charge to the twelve Apostles; here it follows on the interpretation of the parable of the Sower; in Luk. 12:2<\/span> it points the moral of the uselessness of hypocrisy.<\/p>\n ‘For nothing is hid, that shall not be made manifest, nor anything secret, that shall not be known and come to light.’<\/p>\n Indeed he reminds us that in the end everything will be revealed, and nothing will finally be hidden. God’s light shines on it now for those who have eyes to see. And there is coming a day when God will judge the secrets of men though Christ. Then everyone will have to come to the light. So there is one thing that we can be sure of, and that is that whatever we have done and have tried to cover up must either be brought to the light now (Joh 3:18-21<\/span>) or will one day be openly revealed when all have to give account. Nothing will be hidden. And it will be by the One from Whom nothing can be hidden, and to Whom men have made such all-sweeping promises and commitments. One day all will be brought into the light and each of us will be known for what we really are.<\/p>\n Thus it behoves us as Christians to bring all our sins to the light now so that the blood of Jesus Christ His Son might cleanse us from all sin (1Jn 1:7-10<\/span>). And then when that day comes we will have nothing to fear, for all our sin will have been dealt with.<\/p>\n Luk 8:17-18<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>For nothing is secret, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> The author of the version of 1729 translates these two verses elegantly enough, in the following manner: Luk 8:17<\/span>. “Whatever is now obscure, shall hereafter be made clear: whatever is now concealed shall then be publicly known: Luk 8:18<\/span>. Improve therefore what you hear; for he that improves what he has, shall have more; but he that does not, shall lose even that which he thinks he possesses.” <\/p>\n 17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing<\/em> hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 17.

Disciples should not suppose that because God had kept the truth that Jesus had revealed to them secret He wanted it to remain hidden. He wanted it declared publicly now.<\/p>\n For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither [any thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. 17 .
