12:1 這時,有幾萬人聚集,甚至彼此踐踏。耶穌開講,先對門徒說:「你們要防備法利賽人的酵,就是假冒為善。
12:2 掩蓋的事沒有不露出來的;隱藏的事沒有不被人知道的。
12:3 因此,你們在暗中所說的,將要在明處被人聽見;在內室附耳所說的,將要在房上被人宣揚。」
Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.

主耶穌這樣說不是說我們不可以有秘密,而是不要將秘密隨便告訴別人,即使是覺得很隱密的地方,也不要將秘密洩漏出去!
然而相對的,我們不要人前一套、人後一套,像法利賽人一樣,在人前表現得很正直,在背後卻是做一些汙穢的事!不要以為可以瞞過別人,上帝都看見,祂必定會追討的。
因此,我們待人不可虛假,也不要刻意討好,要以公義和誠實對待人,才能滿足上帝的要求!正如詩篇85篇10-11節:「慈愛和誠實彼此相遇;公義和平安彼此相親。誠實從地而生;公義從天而現。」
