Luke 12:1-7
Chapter 12
1
Meanwhile, a large crowd had gathered so tightly that they pushed and crushed one another. Then Jesus spoke to his disciples in this way,
“Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2
Nothing is covered that will not be uncovered; or hidden, that will not be made known.
3
Whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in hidden places will be proclaimed from housetops.
4
I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who can only kill the body and then have nothing more they can do.
5
But I will tell you whom to fear: Fear the one who, after killing you, can throw you into hell.
This is the one you must fear.
6
Don’t you buy five sparrows for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
7
Even the hairs of your head are numbered. Don’t be afraid! Are you less valuable in God’s eyes than many sparrows?
