| Matthew 10:26 | Therefore fear them not: *for there is nothing hid, that shall not be revealed: nor secret that shall not be known. Mark 4:22.; Luke 8:17.; Luke 12:2. | For there is nothing hid, etc. Even in this life, for truth, however much oppressed, is yet accustomed at length to rise superior to oppression. What Christ therefore says here is, although the wicked persecute you, yet your virtue shall at length be known. (Menochius) --- Patience for a while, and soon your charity, which is now unknown, shall be renowned throughout the whole earth. You shall be blessed by all as the greatest benefactors, and the cultivators of virtue, while the words of your adversaries shall be heard with the greatest contempt. (St. Chrysostom, hom. xxxv.) |
