Matthew Chapter 10, Verse 27
From BibleWiki
27: ο λεγω υμιν εν τη σκοτια ειπατε εν τω φωτι και ο εις το ους ακουετε κηρυξατε επι των δωματων
27: What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what
ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
27: That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and
that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.
What I tell you in darkness, etc. That is, in secret, in private, in confidence. The private instructions which I give you while with me, do you proclaim publicly, on the house top. The house top, the flat roof, was a public conspicuous place. See 2 Sam 16:22. See Barnes "Mt 9:2".
