What I tell you in darkness, that speak in light: and what you hear in the ear, that preach upon the housetops.
All Commentaries on Matthew 10:27 Go To Matthew 10
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
We do not take this to mean that the Lord was accustomed to preach at night and to transmit his teaching in the dark. Rather, to those who are carnal, everything he said is darkness, and to unbelievers his word is night. … Therefore Jesus commands that those things which were said in the darkness should be preached in the light. In this way the things he secretly whispered into their ears will be heard from the housetops, from on high, through those who speak as heralds.
