12:3So then8 whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered9 in private rooms10 will be proclaimed from the housetops.11
Footnotes
- 8 Or “because.” Understanding this verse as a result of v. 2 is a slightly better reading of the context. Knowing what is coming should impact our behavior now.
- 9 Grk “spoken in the ear,” an idiom. The contemporary expression is “whispered.”
- 10 The term translated private rooms refers to the inner room of a house, normally without any windows opening outside, the most private location possible ( ταμεῖον 2).
- 11 The expression “proclaimed from the housetops” is an idiom for proclaiming something publicly (L&N 7.51). Roofs of many first century Jewish houses in Judea and Galilee were flat and had access either from outside or from within the house. Something shouted from atop a house would be heard by everyone in the street below.
