Mark 4:22

Mark 4:22 in Multiple Translations

For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

For there is nothing hid, save that it should be manifested; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light.

There is nothing covered which will not be seen openly, and nothing has been made secret which will not come to light.

Everything that is hidden will be revealed, and everything that is secret will be brought out into the open.

For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light.

for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.

For there is nothing hidden except that it should be made known, neither was anything made secret but that it should come to light.

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither hath any thing been kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad.

Similarly, there are some parts of God’s message that people do not know. But he intends that people will understand all the things that they do not know now.

Well, just like that, God wants people to understand the things that are true. He will not hide them away. You see, there are some things that God hasn’t told anyone yet, but people will know them soon. It will be like a light will shine on them.

Mark 4:22 Summary

This verse means that everything we do, whether good or bad, will eventually be revealed. It's like when you turn on a light in a dark room, and everything becomes visible. Jesus is saying that our actions, even the ones we try to keep secret, will be brought to light (as seen in Luke 8:17). This should motivate us to live with integrity and honesty, knowing that God sees everything we do, and our actions will have consequences, as mentioned in Galatians 6:7-8.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gill's Exposition on Mark 4:22

For there is nothing hid,.... In these parables, and figurative expressions used by Christ, which shall not be manifested, sooner or later, to his disciples: neither was any thing kept secret; any

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Mark 4:22

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Mark 4:22

Ver. 22,23. Our Saviour, , sending out his apostles, saith to them, Fear them not therefore, that is, not your enemies and persecutors: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known: the sense of which words we there said might be, though your innocency be now hid, yet it shall be made known, or though the gospel be now hid, and preached in a little corner, and kept secret, it shall be made manifest, and come abroad. Both Mark and Luke have it immediately after the parable of the sower, where it doth not seem to have the same sense as here. But more general proverbial common sayings may be variously applied to things, to which the common sense and import of them will agree. Some here apply them thus, There is nothing in the prophecies concerning me which shall not be manifested; which agrees with the sense of those who interpret the former verse concerning Christ, as if he had been giving a reason why he opened the parables to those that asked him of it. But those who interpret it to the sense which it beareth plainly, ,16, make the sense thus; For though you may play the hypocrites, and under a profession of the gospel but hide the hypocrisy, lusts, and corruptions of your hearts, yet that mask will not hold always, there will come a day of judgment, which will manifest and discover all, and bring to light the hidden things of dishonesty. What we have is but a usual conclusion which our Saviour hath often made of any grave and important discourses.

Trapp's Commentary on Mark 4:22

22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. Ver. 22. There is nothing hid, &c.] i.e. The prophets have delivered nothing darkly of me, which you must not make more manifest, and for that end you are enlightened, Romans 16:15. See Matthew 10:26.

Ellicott's Commentary on Mark 4:22

(22) For there is nothing hid.—This also is found elsewhere (e.g., in Matthew 10:26). The Greek word here for “secret” is interesting as being the same as that which we find in our word “Apocrypha.” The term was, in the first instance, applied to books that were surrounded with the secrecy of a spurious sacred-ness, but were not publicly recognised in the Church as being of divine authority, and was then transferred to all books which, whether “spurious” or “secret,” wanted that recognition.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Mark 4:22

Verse 22. For there is nothing hid, c.] Probably our Lord means, that all that had hitherto been secret, relative to the salvation of a lost world, or only obscurely pointed out by types and sacrifices, shall now be uncovered and made plain by the everlasting Gospel. See Clarke on Matthew 5:15 "Matthew 10:26".

Barnes' Notes on Mark 4:22

There is nothing hid ... - See the notes at Matthew 10:26.
