Luke 12:3 Context
1In the meane time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one vpon another, he began to say vnto his disciples first of all, Beware yee of the leauen of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisie. 2For there is nothing couered, that shall not be reuealed, neither hid, that shall not be knowen. 3Therefore, whatsoeuer yee haue spoken in darkenesse, shall bee heard in the light: and that which yee haue spoken in the eare, in closets, shal be proclaimed vpon the house tops. 4And I say vnto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that, haue no more that they can doe. 5But I will forewarne you whom you shall feare: Feare him, which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell, yea, I say vnto you, Feare him.
