So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. The fear that the opposition produces is addressed: do not fear, because the truth will eventually be fully revealed. The hidden things that will be known and the covered things that will be revealed are the true character of the opposition and the true identity and authority of Jesus. Romans 2:16 speaks of the day when God judges the secrets of men; Revelation 20:12 describes the books being opened. The disclosure that is coming means the disciples need not be agitated by false accusations — the full truth will eventually be made visible.
