Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness.--See Note on Matthew 10:27. There is, it will be noted, a difference of the same character as in the last verse. As recorded in St. Matthew, it is "What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light." The disciples were warned of their responsibility and duty as hearers, bound to teach publicly what had been heard in secret. Here they are told of their responsibility as teachers. Every word, however secret, spoken in darkness, in the closet or cabinet, which was the symbol of secresy (see Note on Matthew 6:6); every whisper of false security or groundless fear, spoken in the ear of sinner or of penitent, would one day be made manifest, as in the presence of men and angels.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekWhatὅσα (hosa)Personal / Relative Pronoun - Accusative Neuter PluralStrong's 3745: How much, how great, how many, as great as, as much.
