What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. The disciples are to take the private teaching they have received in the intimate context of Jesus' company and make it fully public — the darkness of private instruction becomes the light of public proclamation, the whisper becomes the housetop announcement. Luke 12:3 applies the same principle in the reverse direction — what is said in the dark will be heard in the light. The kingdom's message is not an esoteric secret for the initiated but a public proclamation for all to hear.
