Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Robertson: Luk 12:2 - Covered up

Covered up ( sugkekalummenon estin ).

Periphrastic perfect passive indicative of sugkaluptō , an old verb, but here only in the N.T., to cover up on all sides and so completely. Luk 12:2here are parallel with Mat 10:26-33 spoken to the Twelve on their tour of Galilee, illustrating again how often Jesus repeated his sayings unless we prefer to say that he never did so and that the Gospels have hopelessly jumbled them as to time and place. See the passage in Matthew for discussion of details.

Vincent: Luk 12:2 - Covered up

Covered up ( συγκεκαλυμμένον )

Only here in New Testament: implying close concealment.

JFB: Luk 12:1-3 - meantime

In close connection, probably, with the foregoing scene. Our Lord had been speaking out more plainly than ever before, as matters were coming to a head between Him and His enemies, and this seems to have suggested to His own mind the warning here. He had just Himself illustriously exemplified His own precepts.

JFB: Luk 12:1-3 - his disciples first of all

Afterwards to "the multitudes" (Luk 12:54).

JFB: Luk 12:1-3 - covered

From the view.

JFB: Luk 12:2 - hid

From knowledge. "Tis no use concealing anything, for all will one day come out. Give free and fearless utterance then to all the truth." (Compare 1Co 4:3, 1Co 4:5).

Clarke: Luk 12:2 - There is nothing covered

There is nothing covered - See the notes on Mat 5:15; Mat 10:26, Mat 10:27 (note); Mar 4:22 (note).

Poole: Luk 12:2

It is a proverbial expression: those, and parabolical expressions, may be applied in several cases, and to several subjects: we have met with this before variously applied, Mat 10:26 Mar 4:22 ; and in this Gospel, Luk 8:17 . Here it is applied as an argument against hypocrisy, or the concealing of naughty and corrupt hearts under the vizor and disguise of demure looks, or fair conversation. In the day of judgment sinners shall walk naked, and men shall see their shame; God will in that day make known all the secrets of men’ s hearts, to be sure the secrets of all their hearts, whose iniquities are not forgiven, and whose sins are not covered.

Gill: Luk 12:2 - For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed // neither hid, that shall not be known

For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed,.... No sin, be it ever so secret or privately done, as nothing is more covered than hypocrisy, but what shall be detected sooner or later; if not in this world, which is often the case, yet the last judgment, and in the world to come:

neither hid, that shall not be known; for how careful soever men may be to hide their vices from others, they are known to God; who will bring every thing into judgment, and make manifest the secrets of all hearts. These were general sentences, which were used by Christ at different times, upon different occasions, and applied to particular cases; See Gill on Mat 10:26.
