Luke 11:53-12:5

New American Standard Bible

⁵³ When He left that place, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to interrogate Him about many subjects, ^54 (A)plotting against Him ^(B)to catch ^[a]Him in something He might say.

God Knows and Cares

12 Under these circumstances, after ^[b]so many thousands of ^[c]people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all, “^(C)Beware of the ^[d]leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. ^2 (D)But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. ³ Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have ^[e]whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on ^(E)the housetops.

⁴ “Now I say to you, ^(F)My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. ⁵ But I will warn you whom to fear: ^(G)fear the One who, after He has killed someone, has the power to throw that person into ^[f](H)hell; yes, I tell you, fear ^[g]Him!
