Matthew 10:26

Fear God, Not Man

10:26 “Do 1  not be afraid of them, for nothing is hidden 2  that will not be revealed, 3  and nothing is secret that will not be made known.

Matthew 28:5

28:5 But the angel said 4  to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know 5  that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 

Matthew 28:10

28:10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee. They will see me there.”

1 tn Grk “Therefore do not.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated.

2 tn Or “concealed.”

3 sn I.e., be revealed by God. The passive voice here and in the next verb see the revelation as coming from God. The text is both a warning about bad things being revealed and an encouragement that good things will be made known.

4 tn Grk “But answering, the angel said.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

5 tn Grk “for I know.”

6 sn See the note on crucified in 20:19.
