Matthew 10:26

Context
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 13:35

Context
13:35 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet: 4 

I will open my mouth in parables,

I will announce what has been hidden from the foundation of the world. 5 

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 tc A few important mss (א* Θ Ë1,13 33) identify the prophet as Isaiah, a reading that is significantly harder than the generic “prophet” because the source of this prophecy is not Isaiah but Asaph in Ps 78. Jerome mentioned some mss that had “Asaph” here, though none are known to exist today. This problem is difficult because of the temptation for scribes to delete the reference to Isaiah in order to clear up a discrepancy. Indeed, the vast majority of witnesses have only “the prophet” here (א1 B C D L W 0233 0242 Ï lat sy co). However, as B. M. Metzger points out, “if no prophet were originally named, more than one scribe might have been prompted to insert the name of the best known prophet – something which has, in fact, happened elsewhere more than once” (TCGNT 27). In light of the paucity of evidence for the reading ᾿Ησαΐου, as well as the proclivity of scribes to add his name, it is probably best to consider the shorter reading as authentic.

tn Grk “was spoken by the prophet, saying.” The participle λέγοντος (legontos) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

5 sn A quotation from Ps 78:2.
