16No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.17For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed,and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.18Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”…

Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed
This phrase emphasizes the omniscience of God, who sees all things. In biblical context, it reflects the idea that God's truth and justice will ultimately prevail. This aligns with the teachings found inEcclesiastes 12:14, where it is stated that God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing. The phrase also serves as a warning to believers to live transparently and righteously, as all actions and intentions will eventually be revealed.

and nothing concealed that will not be made known
This part of the verse underscores the inevitability of divine revelation. It suggests that all secrets, whether good or bad, will be exposed. This is consistent with the theme found in1 Corinthians 4:5, where Paul speaks of the Lord bringing to light what is hidden in darkness and exposing the motives of the heart. Historically, this would have resonated with early Christians who faced persecution and needed reassurance that truth and justice would ultimately triumph.

and brought to light
The imagery of light is significant throughout Scripture, often symbolizing truth, purity, and the presence of God. InJohn 8:12, Jesus refers to Himself as the "light of the world," indicating that He is the source of truth and revelation. This phrase assures believers that God's light will penetrate all darkness, revealing the true nature of all things. It serves as both a comfort and a call to live in accordance with God's will, knowing that His light will ultimately illuminate all aspects of life.

What Does Luke 8:17 Mean

For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed

Jesus has just spoken of a lamp set on a stand (Luke 8:16); light is meant to reveal, not to be muffled. This opening phrase presses the point: every secret is on its way to exposure.

• Light is God’s own character—“God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).

• Hidden sins, motives, and even quiet acts of faithfulness are already visible to the Lord (Hebrews 4:13).

• The promise covers both the present and the coming judgment: “Nothing covered up will remain undisclosed” (Matthew 10:26;Mark 4:22).

Living implications:

– Walk transparently before God, because He already sees (Psalm 139:1–4).

– Keep short accounts; confessed sin cannot blackmail the conscience (1 John 1:9).

– Trust that righteous deeds unnoticed by people will be openly acknowledged by the Father (Matthew 6:4).

and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light

The second half repeats the idea with fresh emphasis: concealment is temporary; revelation is certain.

• Final judgment guarantees full disclosure: “He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts” (1 Corinthians 4:5;Ecclesiastes 12:14).

• Darkness flees when the true Light appears (John 3:19–21). Every human life will be evaluated against the perfect brightness of Christ’s righteousness (Revelation 20:12).

• God’s light not only exposes but transforms; when sin is uncovered and forsaken, the light heals and purifies (Ephesians 5:13–14).

Practical outflow:

– Integrity means living now as you will wish you had lived when everything is revealed.

– The gospel invites us to step into the light today, before that unavoidable day arrives (2 Corinthians 6:2).

– Encouragement for the oppressed: hidden injustices will not stay buried; God will make them known and right (Isaiah 30:18).

summary

Luke 8:17 assures that God’s light will prevail. Secrets—whether sinful or righteous—cannot stay hidden. Because exposure is inevitable, honesty with God and others, repentance from sin, and confidence in God’s just vindication become the only sensible way to live.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(17)For nothing is secret.--Another of the maxims which were often in our Lord's lips, and applied as circumstances presented themselves. InMatthew 10:26 (where see Note) it forms part of the charge to the twelve Apostles; here it follows on the interpretation of the parable of the Sower; inLuke 12:2 it points the moral of the uselessness of hypocrisy.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 17. -For nothing is secret, that shall net be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shallnot be known and come abroad. "All will gradually become clear to them. Whilst the night thickens over Israel on account of its unbelief, the disciples will advance into even fuller light, until there is nothing left in the plan of God which is obscure or hidden. The heart of Jesus is lifted up at this prospect. This accounts for the poetical rhythm which always appears at such moments" (Godet). This is very good, but Godet scarcely goes far enough. The Master's words surely promise that, as the ages advance, more and ever more light on the subject of God's dealings with men will be vouchsafed to the humble, patient searcher after the Divine wisdom. This apophthegm seems to have been a very favourite one of our Lord; he evidently used it on several occasions (see, for instance,Matthew 10:26, where the same words are reported to have been spoken in a different connection).
