This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2. οὐδὲν δέ. Not “for nothing” as in A. V[261]; ‘but’ (unless with א we omit the δὲ altogether). This whole discourse, in its vividness and compression, and the apparent abruptness of some of its causal connexions indicates the tumult of emotion through which our Lord had been passing in the last trying scene. The line of thought is—‘Hypocrisy aims at concealment; but,’ &c. Hypocrisy is not only sinful but useless.
[261] A. V. Authorised Version.
συγκεκαλυμμένον … ἀποκαλυφθήσεται. Literally, ‘veiled over … unveiled.’ You will be made responsible for any part of my teaching which you conceal or keep back.
